Name: Fruited Buttermilk Scones
Ingredients: 2 c Whole wheat pastry flour; 2 ts Baking powder; 1/4 ts Baking soda; 1/2 c Butter, small pieces; 4 tb Maple syrup; 1 Peach or nectarine, diced; 1/2 ts Orange peel, grated; 1/2 c Buttermilk; 1/4 ts Nutmeg

Confronting another when they are in a state of sin is an act of love. If our children were abusing drugs we would make a judgment call. Why is it any different if a brother or sister in Christ is acting in a destructive manner? Don’t we understand the destructive nature of sin? It nailed our Savior to the cross! Respected pastor and theologian, John Stott, once said, “To [learn of a foreign object in a brother’s eye and] leave it there, and make no attempt to remove it, would hardly be consistent with brotherly love” (Sermon on the Mount, p. 179). If we really want to be more like Christ (Rom. 8:29), we will be grateful to have our sins revealed. If we are humble, we will be grateful to have our sins revealed. It is only the scoffer, according to Proverbs, who hates correction (Pro. 9:8). And if this is what is best for us, we should naturally want it for others. Isn’t that the Golden Rule (Mt. 7:12)?
