Gospel doctrine creates a gospel culture. The doctrines of grace create a culture of grace, as Jesus Himself touches us through His truths. Without the doctrines, the culture alone is fragile. Without the culture, the doctrines alone appear pointless. For example: The doctrine of regeneration creates a culture of humility (Ephesians 2:1-9). The doctrine of justification creates a culture of inclusion (Galatians 2:11-16). The doctrine of reconciliation creates a culture of peace (Ephesians 2:14-16). The doctrine of sanctification creates a culture of life (Romans 6:20-23). The doctrine of glorification creates a culture of hope (Romans 5:2). The doctrine of God creates a culture of honesty (1 John 1:5-10). And what could be more basic than that? If we want this culture to thrive, we can’t take doctrinal short cuts. If we want this doctrine to be credible, we can’t disregard the culture. But churches where the doctrine and culture converge bear living witness to the power of Jesus.

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE VANILLA SUGAR
Use this sugar to add a fresh-tasting vanilla flavor to all your favorite
recipes. It's especially good when used to sweeten whipped cream.
To make the wafers:
Preheat oven to 400F. Generously butter heavy large cookie sheets. Beat 1/4
cup butter and sugar in medium bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg
whites. Gradually mix in flour and salt (batter will be soft.) Drop batter
by level teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets, spacing 3 inches apart.
Bake until edges are golden brown and centers of cookies are still pale,
about 7 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks and cool completely. (Can be
prepared 1 day ahead. Store in airtight container.)
To make the vanilla sugar:
Process sugar and vanilla bean in processor until vanilla bean is very
finely minced. Strain sugar to remove any large pieces of vanilla bean.
Store sugar in airtight container. Makes 2 cups.
Makes about 36 cookies.
