Name: Noodles Pancakes with Caraway
Ingredients: 1/4 lb Very fine egg noodles; 1 lg Egg; beaten lightly; 3/4 ts Caraway seeds; 1 tb Vegetable oil; 1 1/2 ts Unsalted butter

I've been there a few times in my life. Most don't understand it. That's understandable. However, it hit home to me when the Apostle Paul said, 'Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches' (2 Cor. 11:28). A number of years ago, the pain was so intense that the physical affliction Paul spoke about earlier in 2 Corinthians 11 would have been much preferred. I can take the long hours and the hard work. I can even take the pressures on my family. But the emotional pain is the one and only thing that forever tempts me to throw in the towel. When I feel that way, I can almost hear the Lord saying to me, 'Are you in it for Me or are you in it for yourself?' That's gut-check time. Am I really a servant of Christ (2 Cor. 11:23)?

INGREDIENTS

1/4	lb	Very fine egg noodles

INSTRUCTIONS

In a saucepan of boiling salted water boil the noodles until they are al
dente and drain them well. In a bowl toss the noodles with the egg and the
caraway seeds until they are coated well. In a small non-stick skillet heat
the oil and the butter until the foam subsides, add 1/2 cup of the noodle
mixture, and form it into a pancake 4 inches in diameter, tidying the edges
with a spatula. Cook the pancake over moderately high heat for 2 minutes,
or until the underside is golden, turn it, and cook it for 2 minutes more.
Slide the pancake onto a plate and keep it warm. Make pancakes with the
remaining noodle mixture in the same manner.

A Message from our Provider:

“God is glorified by a thankful heart.”

But Pastor, doesn’t the verse teach that I am to love myself? Doesn’t it say to love your neighbor “as yourself?” Yes it does. So shouldn’t we then teach, as many secularists do that we cannot love others until we learn to first love ourselves? Answer: no. Because everything about the Christian faith is a death to self. 1 Corinthians 13:5, “Love “does not seek its own.” There is nothing supernatural about loving yourself. Jesus Christ did not deny Himself and give up Himself to make us learn to love ourselves more. He died because we already love ourselves too much! We are experts at putting ourselves first. Ephesians 5:29, “For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it.” So this is not a command for self-love. This is an assumption that we already love ourselves (not of which all is evil) and the way we love ourselves already is to be the example of how we are to love others.
