These orders [love for God and love for money] are diametrically opposed. The one commands you to walk by faith; the other to walk by sight. The one to be humble; the other to be proud. The one to set your affections on things above; the other to set them on the things that are on the earth. The one to look at the things unseen and eternal; the other to look at the things seen and temporal. The one to have your conversation in heaven; the other to cleave to the dust. The one to be careful for nothing; the other to be full of anxiety. The one to be content with such things as you have; the other to enlarge your desires. The one to be ready to distribute; the other to withhold. The one to look at the things of others; the other to look at one’s own things. The one to seek happiness in the Creator; the other to seek happiness in the creature. Is it not plain? There is no serving two such masters.

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Layer the eggplant slices in a colander, sprinkling each layer with the
salt.  Set aside to drain for at least 1 hour. Pat the eggplant dry with
paper towels. 2. Preheat the oven to 375F. Using 1/4 c. of the olive oil,
brush both sides of each eggplant slice. Arrange the slices in a single
layer on 2 large baking sheets. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once,
until the eggplant is tender when pierced with a fork but still holds its
shape. 3. Remove from the oven; season with eggplant with the pepper. Cover
half the eggplant with mozzarella. Finely chop the anchovies and basil
together; sprinkle over the cheese. Cover with the remaining eggplant
slices to form sandwiches. 4. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with 2
teaspoons of water and 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Coat the eggplant
sandwiches with the flour, dusting off any excess. Dip into the beaten egg,
then coat the sandwiches thoroughly with the bread crumbs, pressing gently
to adhere. 5. In a large heavy skillet, heat the remaining oil over
moderately high heat to 375F or until a small bread cube browns in about 1
minute.
Fry the eggplant sandwiches in small batches until golden, 1 to 2 minutes
per side.  Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Arrange
the sandwiches on a platter or plates and serve on their own or with
Marinara Sauce, garnished with sprigs of fresh basil.
(The eggplant sanndwiches can be assembled and fried early in the day.
Set aside on a cookie sheet at room temperature and reheat in a 400F oven
for about 5 minutes just before serving.)

A Message from our Provider:

“You’ve achieved nothing until you find God”

He spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all; how shall He not with him freely give us all things' (Romans 8:32)? How is it imaginable that God should withhold, after this, spirituals or temporals, from His people? How shall He not call them effectually, justify them freely, sanctify them thoroughly, and glorify them eternally? How shall He not clothe them, feed them, protect and deliver them? Surely if He would not spare this own Son one stroke, one tear, one groan, one sigh, one circumstance of misery, it can never be imagined that ever He should, after this, deny or withhold from His people, for whose sakes all this was suffered, any mercies, any comforts, any privilege, spiritual or temporal, which is good for them.
