Name: Gingerbread House Dough - Part 1
Ingredients: 2 c Shortening (no substitutes); 2 c Sugar; 2 c Dark molasses; 2 tb Ground cinnamon; 2 ts Baking soda; 1 ts Salt; 9 c All-purpose flour; 9-10 cups

When we look down on others with haughty judgment, we invoke the same compassionless treatment from God toward our infirmities. What a terrifying response from the living God! Belligerent people are told they can expect to be handled by God, not according to His tender compassion, but with severity matching their contempt of others. Such words should sober even the most hardened heart and result in a fresh realization that self-righteousness tops God’s list of man’s most despised iniquities (Prov. 6:16-19).
