Repentance is a theme that belongs in the gospel presentation to the degree that we could say one has not preached the biblical gospel if one has not preached repentance. In Acts 17 verse 30 the Bible says, 'God commands all men everywhere to repent.' God commands all men everywhere to repent. If we are faithful preachers of the message of God, then we must in God's name command all men everywhere to repent. Matthew 9:13 says that Jesus Christ came to call sinners to repentance. Second Peter 3:9, 'God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.' Luke 15:7 and 10 indicates that there is joy in heaven over one sinner brought to repentance. And in Luke 24:47, the Great Commission Jesus gave is that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to all people.Our message is repentance. It is a hard message. It is a harsh message. It confronts sin. It unmasks hypocrisy. It denies superficiality. You cannot preach the true gospel apart from repentance. John came preaching repentance, the Bible says. Jesus came preaching repentance. The apostles preached repentance. Christ commands repentance. He does it at least three times in just Revelation 2 and 3. God saves through repentance. In fact, in Acts 11:18 it calls repentance, 'Repentance unto life.' There is no spiritual life; there is no eternal life without repentance. In Acts 5:31 it is said Christ is exalted as a Savior to give repentance and the forgiveness of sins.

Winston: 1984)  a vegetarian but very high fat cookbook - ADAPTED
Put fruit in a bowl, drain and reserve juice.
Put champagne and the hot pepper in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and
remove from heat.  Discard hot pepper and let champagne sit for 10 minutes.
Combine fruit and lettuce in a salad bowl or individual salad bowls.  Add
Rice Dream to cooled champagne and mix well.  Pour over salad and serve
immediately.
The original recipe called for heavy cream, and I have tested it with Rice
Dream.  It tastes great, but Rice Dream does have fat.  I have not tried
low fat soy milk (can't find it, for one thing), but the vanilla flavor
would probably be perfect. It is also good, though not as good, without a
cream substitute at all. A sweeter wine such as Riesling is better without
Rice Dream.
NOTE:  boil the wine longer if you want all of the alcohol out.  I don't
serve this to children or alcoholic friends. Most of it seems to be gone,
however.
