Regard the Mosaic endorsement of capital punishment. Can this be justified on New Covenant grounds? Yes, in two ways. First, in Romans 13:4, Paul speaks of our governmental leaders who do not “bear the sword in vain.” Obviously the sword is not used for correction but for execution, and Paul acknowledges this right. Paul does not bother to provide an extensive list of what crimes are rightly punishable by death, but the right itself is assumed. Also, there is the pre-Mosaic stipulation that murder is an attack on God’s image and, therefore, worthy of death (Gen. 9:6). Murder as a personal attack on God is a notion that is not confined to the Old Covenant alone; it remain a capital offense in every age.

1	pk	(8 oz.) Pillsbury quick crescent rolls
3/4	c	Jam or conserve
		Sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350. Unroll dough and place on waxed paper (DO NOT SEPARATE
ROLLS!) Press all seams together. Place another piece of waxed paper over
top; roll out into a 16" x 12" rectangle. Remove wax paper and cut dough
into 12 4" x 4" squares. Place 1 tablespoon of jam or conserve in center of
each square. Fold two opposite corners into the middle. (Only bring two
corners into the middle, so it looks kind of like a canoli) Sprinkle with
sugar. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 8 to 12 minutes. Can be done the
night before, and warmed for breakfast.

A Message from our Provider:

“Have you kept your promise to God?”

If the Lord will but hear us we will leave it to His superior wisdom to decide whether He will answer us or no. It is better for our prayer to be heard than answered. If the Lord were to make an absolute promise to answer all our requests it might be rather a curse than a blessing, for it would be casting the responsibility of our lives upon ourselves, and we should be placed in a very anxious position: But now the Lord hears our desires, and that is enough; we only wish Him to grant them if His infinite wisdom sees that it would be for our good and for His glory.

C.H. Spurgeon
