When we initially accepted Christ, we were saved from sin’s penalty. Christ received the full wrath for our sins on Himself. And the day will come when we step into glory that we will be saved from sin’s presence. Yet right now we briefly tarry on earth existing in the tension between the two worlds. God has given us grace to overcome sin and become more like Jesus Christ which shows the life transforming power of the Gospel at work in us. So, we have been saved from sin’s penalty. We are being saved from sin’s power. And we will be saved from sin’s presence.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place a sheet of pastry on floured work surface and roll into a 14"
square. Transfer to a large unrimmed baking sheet. Using a pastry brush
dipped in water, brush a 1" border along all sides of the square. Roll the
edges of pastry in 1" and pinch to form a standing rim about 1/2" high. At
each of the corners there will be a little excess dough; press into a ball
shape. Use the back of a knife to make a pattern in the rim. Repeat with
2nd sheet. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes. Can be prepared up to a day
ahead. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. 2. Place eggplant
slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle generously with salt. Let stand for
30 minutes. Place in a colander and rinse under cold running water. Drain
and pat dry. Place the tomato slices on paper towels to drain. 3. Mix
together the ricotta, garlic, herbs, red pepper flakes, 1/4 tsp. salt, and
black pepper to taste. Spread half the cheese mixture on each shell.
Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese. Can be prepared 4 to 5 hours ahead to
this point. Cover and refigerate. 4.
425    oven.  Arrange slightly overlappping slices of eggplant on each
puff pastry square and then top with slightly overlapping tomato slices.
Drizzle about 1-2 T olive oil over each galette and sprinkle with the
Parmesan cheese. 5. Bake lower part of oven until crust is a rich dark
golden brown and vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes. Remove to a
cooling rack for 2-3 minutes. Garnish. Cut each into 16 squares. Serve
warm.

A Message from our Provider:

“If you want to be a leader, you must serve.”

Stick with your work. Do not flinch because the lion roars; do not stop to stone the devil’s dogs; do not fool away your time chasing the devil’s rabbits. Do your work. Let liars lie, let sectarians quarrel, let critics malign, let enemies accuse, let the devil do his worst; but see to it nothing hinders you from fulfilling with joy the work God has given you. He has not commanded you to be admired or esteemed. He has never bidden you defend your character. He has not set you at work to contradict falsehood (about yourself) which Satan’s or God’s servants may start to peddle, or to track down every rumor that threatens your reputation. If you do these things, you will do nothing else; you will be at work for yourself and not for the Lord. Keep at your work. Let your aim be as steady as a star. You may be assaulted, wronged, insulted, slandered, wounded and rejected, misunderstood, or assigned impure motives; you may be abused by foes, forsaken by friends, and despised and rejected of men. But see to it with steadfast determination, with unfaltering zeal, that you pursue the great purpose of your life and object of your being until at last you can say, “I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do.”
