Name: Pear Tart
Ingredients: 3 Frozen phyllo pastry sheets; thawed; 1/4 c Finely chopped blanched almonds; 1 lg Egg; 1/4 c Sugar; divided; 3 Medium-size fresh pears; 1/4 ts Ground cinnamon; 1/4 c Apple jelly; melted; Butter-flavored cooking spray

We’ve watched the biblical content of services shrink beyond visibility. But doesn’t faith come by hearing the word of Christ (Rom. 10:17)? Are the spiritually dead not born again by the living and abiding Word of God (1 Pet. 1:23)? Do the people of God not grow by the pure milk of God’s Word (2:2)? Then does it not matter what we read, preach, and sing in our services, and in what quantities? Should we not be alarmed when we see self-centered sermons replace biblical exposition, repetitious choruses replace biblically rich hymnody and psalmody, token prayers replace a full-diet of biblical prayer (for example, praise, confession, thanksgiving, intercessions), and Scripture reading disappear altogether?
