The modern invitation system…reveals a misunderstanding of the role of the preacher. The preacher's duty is not to 'get decisions.' His duty is to proclaim the good news and exhort men and women to go to Christ. This is the means which God uses to save. We preach, and God Himself uses the word preached to 'get the decision.' (What a woefully inadequate term that is! Saving faith is so much more than a 'decision.' It is running for rescue!) These roles must never be confused… The role of the preacher is to exhort men and women to faith in Christ. That is all. And that is enough. God is well able to do everything else.

INSTRUCTIONS

This recipe comes from a nearly defunct religious sect here in the United
States known as the Shakers.  This celibate religious group ate communally,
but with men one side of the room and women on the other.  Shakers are
famed for their quality furniture, their stewardship, and their excellent
cooking. This drink was common at their tables.
Combine all of the ingredients and heat over a very, very low flame.  DO
NOT BOIL.  Let the juice sit on the flame, stirring occassionally, until it
is hot. The longer the drink is on the flame the more the spices have a
chance to combine with the juice (I let mine sit for about 3 hours). Strain
the spices out of the juice. You may serve it hot, or serve it cold. A
slice of lemon goes great with it. Served cold it is a great summer drink!
