Kasha (buckwheat) – We Love God!

1. The altar call too easily confuses the physical act of “coming forward” (walking an aisle) with the spiritual act of “coming to Christ” (repentance and belief). 2. This confusion deceives people about their spiritual state. 3. This confusion often obscures the requirements of repentance and belief. 4. This confusion encourages people to base their assurance on a one-time event. 5. This confusion brings false converts with false assurance into the church’s membership. 6. The altar call makes conversion look like a work of man, when in fact it is a work of God. 7. The altar call confuses people regarding sacred space [that the front of the church is more sacred than any other place]. 8. The altar call confuses “coming forward” with baptism. 9. The altar call distracts Christians from the main point of the service.

INGREDIENTS

1	c	Kasha, buckwheat groats
1		Egg
1/2	t	Salt
2	c	Boiling water

INSTRUCTIONS

In a saucepan that will hold at least one quart or litre, combine
groats and egg, stirring well. Place over medium heat, and stir while
the grains begin to separate. This roasting procedure will smell
heavenly. When all the grains have separated, add boiling water and
salt, cover pot tightly, reduce heat to low, and allow to steam for
about fifteen to twenty minutes. Can be made well ahead of time of
use. This takes well to addition of such things as sauteed onions
and/or mushrooms, or (to make the Jewish dish called varnishkes and
kasha) you may add cooked egg noodles (bowknots are traditional) in
the proportion of two parts kasha to one part noodles. Esther H.  Vail,

A Message from our Provider:

“Quit griping about your church; if it was perfect, you couldn’t belong.”

Human morality and submission to God’s law are entirely different in principle, though they may appear to be similar in outward appearance. Human morality arises out of culture and family training and is based on what is proper and expected in the society we live in. It has nothing to do with God except to the extent that godly people have influenced that society. Submission to God’s law arises out of a love for God and a grateful response to His grace and is based on a delight in His law as revealed in Scripture. When the societal standard of morality varies from the law of God written in Scripture, we then see the true nature of human morality. We discover that it is just as hostile to the law of God as is the attitude of the most hardened sinner.
