In the darkest night of the soul, Christians have something to hold onto that Job never knew – we know Christ crucified. Christians have learned that when there seems to be no other evidence of God’s love, they cannot escape the cross. “He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all – how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?” (Rom. 8:32)… When we suffer there will sometimes be mystery. Will there also be faith? Yes. If our attention is focused more on the cross and on the God of the cross than on the suffering itself.

INSTRUCTIONS

Check leaves of greens carefully; remove pulpy stems and discolored spots
on leaves. Wash thoroughly in several changes of warm water; add a little
salt to the last rinse. Put greens in colander to drain.
Cook salt pork, covered, about 10 minutes in 1/2 cup boiling salted water.
Add greens, a few at a time; cover and cook slowly until greens are tender.

NOTE: An alternate method is to wash greens carefully and put them into a
large cooker with only the water that clings to leaves. Add salt and bacon
drippings after the greens have cooked tender. SOURCE: Southern Living

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus: beaten so that you could be unbeatable”

True worship begins with brokenness and humility over whatever God reveals to us in His Word. Poverty of spirit and mourning over our sin lead to genuine repentance, which in turn leads to forgiveness. Forgiveness will produce freedom – freedom from guilt and bondage. When we have freedom that has been birthed out of brokenness, repentance, and forgiveness, we will have a greater capacity for love – supernatural ability to love God and to love those who are unlovable – and for worship. And of course, true love and worship will lead up back to a new level of brokenness, which leads to greater and deeper repentance, increased forgiveness, newfound freedom, and an even greater capacity for love and for worship.
