Note what Christ taught about the inspiration of the Old Testament: 1. Its entirety; the whole of the Bible is inspired (Matt. 4:4; 5:17-18). In Matthew 4:4, Jesus responded to Satan’s temptation by affirming verbal plenary inspiration when He said, man is to live by every word (plenary) that proceeds out of the mouth of God (inspiration). In Matthew 5:17-18, Christ promised that the entire Old Testament, the Law and the Prophets, would be fulfilled, not abolished. In fact, He declared that not even the smallest Hebrew letter, the yodh, which looks like an apostrophe (‘), or stroke of a letter, a small distinguishing extension or protrusion of several Hebrews letters (cf. the extension on the letter R with it absence on the letter P), would pass away until all is fulfilled. Christ’s point is that it is all inspired and true and will be fulfilled. 2. Its historicity; He spoke of the Old Testament in terms of actual history. Adam and Eve were two human beings, created by God in the beginning, who lived and acted in certain ways (Matt. 19:3-5; Mark 10:6-8). He spoke of Jonah and his experience in the belly of the great fish as an historical event (Matt. 12:40). He also verified the events of the flood in Noah’s day along with the ark (Matt. 24:38-39; Luke 17:26-27). He verified God’s destruction of Sodom and the historicity of Lot and his wife (Matt. 10:15; Luke 17:28-29). These are only a few illustrations; many others exist. 3. Its reliability; because it is God’s word, the Scripture must be fulfilled (Matt. 26:54). 4. Its sufficiency; it is sufficient to witness to the truth of God and His salvation (Luke 16:31). 5. Its indestructibility; heaven and earth will not pass away until it is all fulfilled. Nothing can stop its fulfillment (Matt. 5:17-18). 6. Its unity; the whole of the Bible speaks and witnesses to the person and work of Christ (Luke 24:27, 44). 7. Its inerrancy; men are often in error, but the Bible is not; it is truth (Matt. 22:29; John 17:17). 8. Its infallibility; the Bible cannot be broken, it always stands the test (John 10:35).

INGREDIENTS

4	oz	All-purpose flour
4	oz	Bread flour
2	ts	Salt
1/4	oz	Fresh yeast
1	ts	Sugar
1/2	pt	Warm water
1	tb	Vegetable oil
1/2	ts	Bicarbonate of soda
1/4	pt	Warm water

INSTRUCTIONS

Sift the flours and salt into a warm bowl.  Cream the yeast with the sugar.
Add the warmed water, then the oil. Stir into the flour to make a batter,
and beat vigorously until smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl, put in a warm
place and leave it until the mixture rises and the surface is full of
bubbles (about 1 1/2 hours). Break it down by beating with a wooden spoon.
Cover and leave in a warm place to prove for another 30 minutes. To cook
the crumpets, heat and grease the bakestone lightly. Grease 5 or 6 crumpet
rings (3-3 1/2 inches) (or scone cutters) and put them on the bakestone to
heat. Cook as many crumpets as possible at a time, as the batter will not
stay bubbly for long. Put 1/2 inch deep of batter into each ring. Cook
gently for 7 - 10 minutes, or until the surface sets and is full of tiny
bubbles. Using an oven glove for protection, lift off the ring, and if the
base of the crumpet is pale gold, flip it over and cook for another 3
minutes until the other side is just colored. If the crumpet batter is set
but sticks slightly in the ring, push it out gently with the back of a
wooden spoon.  Wipe, grease and heat the rings for each batch of crumpets.
If serving immediately, wrap the crumpets in a cloth and keep warm between
batches. Butter generously and serve at once. If reheating, toast the
crumpets under the grill, cooking the smooth surface first and then the top
so that the butter will melt into the holes.

A Message from our Provider:

“God wants to be your best friend”

Evangelicals believe in the powerful gospel of Jesus Christ that penetrates any culture. On the basis of the divinely inspired Word, evangelicals proclaim the good news that God justifies by faith alone those who believe in Jesus, whose atoning death and triumphant resurrection make it possible for sinners to be born again by the power of the Holy Spirit. Wherever you see cooperation around these core convictions of the gospel handed down through the centuries, you see the evangelical movement.
