Name: Florida Bay Snickers Cheesecake
Ingredients: 1 9" Unbaked pie shell; 1 1/2 lb Cream cheese, cubed; 1 1/4 c Sugar; 1 ts Vanilla; 3 Eggs, divided; 6 Snickers candy bars, reg sz; 2 oz Caramels; 1 tb Whipping cream; 2 oz Semisweet chocolate morsels; 3 tb Whipping cream; Peanuts, chopped for garnish

In Colossians 1:18 we are commanded to give Jesus Christ “first place in everything.” First place “among” everything is bad theology. In other words, Jesus Christ is above everything else that I love. Women, it’s great to love your husband more than other men, but Jesus must not be embraced from that perspective. Right theology is first place “in” everything. Jesus is above all things and is honored in the heart of everything we do. In other words, we do all things through Him and for Him (ride a bike, talk to a friend, serve at work, watch a movie, listen to music, play golf, sweep the floor, etc.). With Christ, there is absolutely no division between the sacred and the secular. If there is, we fall into the category of idolatry.
