If Christ is, to us, only our substitute to admire and not also our example to follow, we will not rouse ourselves to do hard things in obedience to Him. That will be spiritually deadening in the long run. If Christ is, to us, only our example to follow and not first our substitute to admire, we will not lean on Him as our savior and be freed from ourselves. That too is spiritually deadening in the long run. We can get it wrong and still thrive for a while. But in the long run, only a well-proportioned theology can keep us spiritually alive.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8 x 11.5 x 2-inch baking dish with
cooking spray. Spray, as well, the bowl of a measuring tablespoon. Set both
aside.
Combine flour, sugar, ginger, and cinnamon in a bowl. Using a pastry
blender or two knives, cut in shortening. Scoop out about 1/3 cup of this
mixture, and set aside for topping.
Add the soda and salt to the buttermilk, stirring. It will foam. Set aside.
Pour egg into larger amount of topping. Add the molasses, measuring it in
the sprayed tablespoon and pouring it in directly. Stir the batter a few
times, then add the buttermilk mixture. Stir to blend ingredients, but
don't worry about a few lumps. Turn batter into prepared baking dish and
sprinkle with topping. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until
toothpick tests clean.
Serve, if possible when still warm, plain or with whipped cream, ice cream,
frozen yogurt, or baked apple.
