Satan’s number-one objective is to destroy our joy of faith. We have one offensive weapon: the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God (Eph. 6:17). But what many Christians fail to realize is that we can’t draw the sword from someone else’s scabbard. If we don’t wear it, we can’t wield it. If the Word of God does not abide in us (Jn. 15:7), we will reach for it in vain when the enemy strikes. But if we do wear it, if it lives within us, what mighty warriors we can be!

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE ALMOND MIXTURE
Rub the butter into the flour, icing sugar and the salt. Add the egg yolks
and form a ball. Wrap in cling film and leave for half an hour.
Roll out and line a 9 inch detachable bottomed tart dish. Line with
greaseproof paper, fill with baking beans and bake at approximately
170&deg;C/325&deg;F/gas mark 3 for 10 minutes, then uncover for another 10 minutes
until the base is turning golden and cooked through.
In a saucepan put the red wine, sugar, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, cloves,

Take the pears out of the liquid and set aside. Boil the liquid down to a
syrup, this will be used for glazing the tart once it is cooked.

tart and pour over the mixture. Glaze with the pear poaching liquid.

A Message from our Provider:

“Ask \”What would Jesus do?\” Apply the answer!”

Many of the pulpiteers of the past fifty years acted as though the first and last object of their calling was the salvation of souls, everything being made to bend to that aim. In consequence, the feeding of the sheep, the maintaining of a Scriptural discipline in the church, and the inculcation of practical piety, was crowded out; and only too often all sorts of worldly devices and fleshly methods were employed under the plea that the end justified the means; and thus the churches were filled with unregenerate members. In reality, such men defeated their own aim. The hard heart must be ploughed and harrowed before it can be receptive to the gospel seed. Doctrinal instruction must be given on the character of God, the requirements of his Law, the nature and heinousness of sin, if a foundation is to be laid for true evangelism. It is useless to preach Christ unto souls until they see and feel their desperate need of him.
