The fact is that a sound and lively truth-basis has been ejected from the premises of modern evangelicalism. Evangelicalism has been dispossessed of truth to such an extent that it is becoming frightening. In its place experience and mysticism are house-sitting the church or, if not these, then church growth pragmatism or an unhealthy preoccupation with the psychological. But the necessary doctrines of the holiness of God and His just wrath, justification by faith alone, the transforming nature of regeneration, the sovereignty of God over all of creation and in salvation itself, the nature and extent of grace in justification and in sanctification – doctrines upon which the earlier revivals thrived – have been considered unimportant and useful only for wizened old theologs holed up in ivory towers who do not relate to the church’s future.

INSTRUCTIONS

In large bowl, cream together shortening and one cup sugar until light and
fluffy.  Beat in eggs one at a time; beat in molasses.
Stir together flour, ground ginger, baking soda, cloves and cinnamon; stir
into creamed mixture in three parts. Mix in crystallized ginger until
smooth.
Remove dough from bowl and wrap in floured wax paper; refrigerate
overnight.  (Dough will be quite soft.)
With lightly floured hands, form dough into 1" (2.5 cm) balls; gently roll
in sugar.  Place about 2" (5 cm) apart on greased baking sheets.
Bake at 350F (180C) for 10 - 12 minutes or just until set. Remove to wire
racks to cool.
Makes about 6 dozen. I'm not much of a cookie baker because it seems so
much effort for something that is gobbled down so quickly, but these are
worth the trouble (I always set some aside for myself, just to be sure I'll
get some). Guten Apetit!

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus is my Lifeguard!”

Each of the Persons of the Trinity plays a unique role in the salvation of the elect. The Father elects to save His people in Christ (Eph. 1:4). The Son is appointed and willingly offers Himself as Savior and Mediator (Lk. 22:29; Heb. 10:5-7). The Holy Spirit furnishes Christ with the gifts necessary to accomplish His saving work (Lk. 1:32; 3:21-22; 4:18), and also applies the benefits of Christ’s work to those whom the Father gives to the Son (Jn. 6:38-39; Jn. 17:4). Thus, in a delightful harmony of mutual love and purpose, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit eternally covenant to redeem an elect community.
