The difference in result between forgiveness that responds to repentance and forgiveness independent of the repentance of the offending party is, of course, that the former pattern issues in reconciliation while the latter does not. But in both cases what is presupposed is that the believer forgives the offender. Transparently, reconciliation is a good thing if it can be achieved, but the goal of reconciliation should not become the cloak for nursing bitterness because it cannot be achieved.

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine themilk, rice, and cardamom pods in a heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to
a boil.  Lower the heat and reduce the milk until you have 2 cups.* This
may take 1-1 1/4 hours. Turn off heat. Remove cardamom pods and discard.
Add sugar and nuts,  Mix well and leave to cool. Mix again and pour into a
serving bowl. Decorate with a few more slivered pistachios on top. Cover
bowl with light plastic wrap. Refrigerate. Serve cold.
*Note:  How to boil milk down 1 Use a very heavy-bottomed pot. Cast iron or
aluminium covered with porcelain. 2 Since the process is slow and tedious
bring a chair and book to stove. 3 Bring the milk to an "almost" boil.
Watch it.  If you let it boil over you will have a big mess to clean. As
soon as it seems that the milk will start to boil and rise, turn heat sown
to medium low. 4 Adjust heat so that milk is always bubblingm but will not
boil over. 5 Once the milk has begun its slow boil, settle down with your
book.  Stir milk every few minutes. 6 If a creamy crust forms on top, just
stir it into the milk.  It will taste fine when cold.

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus: Gateway to the supernatural”

The “god” of this twentieth century no more resembles the Supreme Sovereign of Holy Writ than does the dim flickering of a candle the glory of the midday sun. The “god” who is now talked about in the average pulpit, spoken of in the ordinary Sunday School, mentioned in much of the religious literature of the day, and preached in most of the so-called Bible Conferences is the figment of human imagination, an invention of maudlin sentimentality. The heathen outside of the pale of Christendom form “gods” out of wood and stone, while the millions of heathen inside Christendom manufacture a “god” out of their own carnal mind. In reality, they are but atheists, for there is no other possible alternative between an absolutely supreme God, and no God at all. A “god” whose will is resisted, whose designs are frustrated, whose purpose is checkmated, possesses no title to Deity, and so far from being a fit object of worship, merits nought but contempt.
