The fundamental problem in the evangelical world today is not inadequate technique, insufficient organization, or antiquated music and those who want to squander the church’s resources bandaging these scratches will do nothing to staunch the flow of blood that is spilling from its wounds. The fundamental problem in the evangelical world today is that God rests too inconsequentially upon the church. His truth is too distant, His grace too ordinary, His judgment too benign, His gospel too easy, and His Christ is too common.

INSTRUCTIONS

COOKIE DOUGH
WALNUT FILLING
Mix butter and cream cheese until smooth.  Add flour and mix again until
smooth.  Making this dough is easy with a food processor, hard with a
mixer.
Roll dough into 3 balls.  Refrigerate dough to keep it from drying out. The
dough can be refrigerated for 1-2 hours, but it is not necessary. Roll out
1 ball at a time and flour lightly. Roll dough out in flour or granulated
sugar so it doesn't stick.
Cut dough into squares or circles using cookie or biscuit cutter. Add about
a teaspoon of filling. Roll squares into "logs." Fold circles over and seal
with a fork. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 10-15 minutes or until lightly
browned.
MAKE FILLING:  Mix all ingredients together.  Add water to obtain a sticky
consistency.
  NOTES:
*  Russian Cookies -- This recipe is from Mrs. Malinch, my little sister's
high school Russian teacher. I usually make this recipe at Christmas or
Easter.
My favorite fillings are poppy seed and walnut.  A recipe for the walnut
filling is included.  The poppy seed filling can be found canned (Solo
brand) in either the gourmet or cake section of most grocery stores. Yield:
*  The kolachki are delicate, so do not throw them in a plastic bag or pile
high in a jar as you would cookies. The kolachki can be frozen.
: Difficulty:  moderate, the assembly requires nimble fingers.
