[T]here is nothing in us or done by us at any stage of our earthly development because of which we are acceptable to God. We must always be accepted for Christ’s sake or we cannot ever be accepted at all. This is not true of us only “when we believe,” it is just as true after we have believed. It will continue to be true as long as we live… It is always, on His “blood and righteousness” alone that we can rest. There is never anything that we are or have or do that can take His place or that take a place along with Him. We are always unworthy, and all that we have or do of good is always of pure grace.

INSTRUCTIONS

In "Sister Schubert's Secret Bread Recipes" there is a recipe for
Parkerhouse Rolls. Is this what you wanted?
Combine yeast and warm water in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup; let stand 5
minutes.
Combine 4 cups sifted flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in yeast
mixture and shortening. Add eggs and remaining 1 cup sifted flour; stir
vigorously until well blended. (Dough will be soft and sticky.) Brush or
lightly rub dough with some of the melted butter. Cover loosely; let rise
in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 1 1/2 hours or until
doubled in bulk.
Grease four 8-inch round cakepans; set aside.
Sift 3/4 cup flour in a thick layer evenly overwork surface; turn dough out
onto floured surface. (Dough will be soft.) Stir 1/2 cup flour evenly over
dough. Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness; brush off excess flour.
Cut out dough using a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter. Pull each round into
an oval, approximately 2 1/2 inches long. Dip 1 side of oval into melted
butter. Fold oval in half with buttered side facing out. (Floured side will
form the famous Parkerhouse pocket.)
For each pan, place the folds of 10 rolls against side of prepared pan,
pressing center fronts of rolls together gently to seal. Place 5 rolls in
inner circle, and 1 roll in center for a total of 16 rolls per pan. Cover
loosely, and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 1 hour or until
doubled in bulk.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake rolls, uncovered, for 12 to 15 minutes or
until lightly browned. Yield: 64 rolls.

A Message from our Provider:

“Save the baby humans… STOP ABORTION!!”

It is impossible to conceive a Savior more suited to the wants of man’s heart than our Lord Jesus Christ - suited not only by His power, but by His sympathy - suited not only by His divinity, but by His humanity. Labor, I beseech you, to get firmly impressed on your mind that Christ, the refuge of souls, is Man as well as God. Honor Him as King of kings, and Lord of lords. But while you do this, never forget that He had a body and was a Man. Grasp this truth and never let it go. The unhappy Socinian errs fearfully when he says that Christ was only Man, and not God. But let not the rebound from that error make you forget that while Christ was very God, He was also very Man.
