Name: Old-Fashioned Three Layer Jam Cake
Ingredients: 1 c Butter; 1 c Sugar; 5 Egg yolks; 1 c Strawberry jam; 1 c Apricot jam; 1 c Seedless blackberry jam (or jelly); 3 c All purpose flour; 1 tb Nutmeg; 1 tb Baking soda; 1 c Buttermilk; 1 tb Baking soda; 1 c Walnuts, chopped (optional); 5 Egg whites, stiffly beaten; 1 c Butter; 3 c Confectioner's sugar; 4 tb Milk; 1 ts Vanilla

God’s holiness is manifested at the Cross. Wondrously and yet most solemnly does the Atonement display God’s infinite holiness and abhorrence of sin. How hateful must sin be to God for Him to punish it to its utmost deserts when it was imputed to His Son!…The “god” which the vast majority of professing Christians “love” is looked upon very much like an indulgent old man, who himself has no relish for folly, but leniently winks at the “indiscretions” of youth. But the Word says, “Thou hatest all workers of iniquity” (Ps. 5:5). And again, “God is angry with the wicked every day” (Ps. 7:11). But men refuse to believe in this God, and gnash their teeth when His hatred of sin is faithfully pressed upon their attention. No, sinful man was no more likely to devise a holy God than to create the Lake of fire in which he will be tormented for ever and ever.

A Message from our Provider:

“A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord. #John MacArthur”
