Ingredients: 1 c Rice flour; 5 tb Tapioca starch *; 4 tb Wheat starch *; 1 ts Kosher salt; 2 c Water; plus; 2 tb Water; 5 ts Oil; x Oil; to grease pans

When I speak of “means,” I have in view Bible-reading, private prayer, regular attendance on public worship, regular hearing of God’s Word, and regular reception of the Lord’s Supper. I lay it down as a simple matter of fact, that no one who is careless about such things must ever expect to make much progress in sanctification. I can find no record of any eminent saint who ever neglected them. They are appointed channels through which the Holy Spirit conveys fresh supplies of grace to the soul, and strengthens the work which He has begun in the inward man. Let men call this legal doctrine if they please, but I will never shrink from declaring my belief that there are no “spiritual gains without pains”… Our God is a God who works by means, and He will never bless the soul of that man who pretends to be so high and spiritual that he can get on without them.

INSTRUCTIONS

* Tapioca starch and wheat starch are both pure white, silky textured
powders, available in 1-pound bags in well-stocked Asian Markets.
1.  Combine rice flour, tapioca starch, wheat starch, salt and water and
stir until smooth.  Strain batter through a fine strainer and stir in 5
teaspoons oil.  Let batter rest 30 minutes.
2.  Lightly oil a baking sheet and two 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch square cake
pans.  Place a steaming rack in a wok and add water to just below rack.
Bring to a boil and have additional boiling water ready to replenish
steamer.
3.  Stir batter very well and pour enough into one of the cake pans to
cover bottom, about 1/2 cup.  Set pan on steaming rack, cover wok, and
steam 5 minutes.  Remove lid, being careful not to let condensed water drip
on rice sheet.  (A tea towel can be placed over pan before covering wok -
K.F.)  Remove cake pan; cool in a sink or lager pan filled with 1/2 inch
cold water.  Meanwhile, fill and steam the other cake pan.
4.  Loosen the cooled rice sheet from the first pan and roll it out onto
the oiled baking sheet.  Turn over rice sheet to lightly oil both sides,
then transfer to a platter.  Repeat cooking, cooling, and oiling steps with
remaining batter.
5.  Stack rice sheets on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate
at least 2 hours before cutting into noodles or adding stuffings.

A Message from our Provider:

“A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord. #John MacArthur”

Salvation is by grace, by grace alone. Nevertheless, divine grace is not exercised at the expense of holiness. It never compromises with sin. It is also true that salvation is a free gift, but an empty hand must receive it and not a hand which still tightly grasps the world. Something more than believing is necessary to salvation. A heart that is steeled in rebellion against God cannot savingly believe. It must first be broken. Only those who are spiritually blind would declare that Christ will save any who despise His authority and refuse His yoke. Those preachers who tell sinners that they may be saved without forsaking their idols, without repenting, without surrendering to the lordship of Christ are as erroneous and dangerous as others who insist that salvation is by works and that heaven must be earned by our own efforts.

A.W. Pink

The flesh is the old life, the natural life inherited from Adam, with its apparent resources of personality, of ancestry, of commitment, of dedication, and so forth. You can do all kinds of religious things in the flesh. The flesh can preach a sermon. The flesh can sing in the choir. The flesh can act as an usher. The flesh can lead people to Christ. Did you know that? The flesh can go out and be very zealous in its witnessing and amass a terribly impressive list of people won to Christ, scalps to hang on a belt. The flesh can do these things but it is absolutely nauseating in the eyes of God. It is merely religious activity. There is nothing wrong with what is being done, but what is terribly wrong is the power being relied upon to do it (Ray Stedman).
