We notice also that Jesus said that the number of such self-proclaiming believers, who are not really regenerate, is declared to be “many.” This should elicit caution in our assumptions of the success of our methods and techniques of evangelism. We tend to be quite sanguine with our “evangelism statistics” when we assume the conversion of all who answer an altar call, make a “decision for Christ,” or recite the “sinner’s prayer.” These tools can help measure outward professions, but they do not give us a glimpse into the heart. All we can ever see of a person’s profession is his fruit. And even the fruit can be deceptive. God, and God alone, can read the human heart. Our gaze cannot penetrate beyond the outward appearance.

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 3-quart Bundt pan very well. Sift dry
ingredients. Combine walnuts and currents in a medium bowl. Add about 2
tablespoons flour mixture to nut mixture and toss to coat; set aside. Cream
butter in bowl of an electric standing mixer, using the paddle attachment.
Add dark brown sugar and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about
5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at time. Add applesauce and mix to combine.
Slowly add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the nuts
and currents. Transfer to prepared pan; shake to level batter. Bake for 55
to 60 minutes. Let cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove from pan and transfer to a
cooling rack to cool completely. Frost with boiled caramel icing. BOILED
CARAMEL ICING: In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and heavy cream. Cover
and cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Remove cover and continue to
cook until a candy thermometer registers 240 degrees (soft-ball stage),
about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla,
stirring to combine. Let cool 5 minutes. Beat frosting with a hand-held
mixer on high speed until thick and creamy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Take care
not to overbeat or the icing will begin to crystallize. (Makes about 2 1/2
cups) Serves 8 to 10.
