Name: Poppyseed Cake #1
Ingredients: 1/4 c Butter; 1 c Sugar -or-; 3/4 c Honey -or-; 3/4 c Maple syrup; 2 Eggs; 2 c Flour; 2 1/2 ts Baking powder; 1/4 ts Cinnamon; 1/4 ts Salt; 1/2 ts Nutmeg; 1/2 c Milk; 1/2 c Water; 1/3 c Poppyseed; 2 tb Rose or orange flower water or-; 1/2 ts Almond extract; 1/2 c Golden raisins; dredged in flour (optional)

Scripture speaks of both a holiness we already possess in Christ before God and a holiness in which we are to grow more and more. The first is the result of the work of Christ for us; the second is the result of the work of the Holy Spirit in us. The first is perfect and complete and is ours the moment we trust Christ; the second is progressive and incomplete as long as we are in this life. The objective holiness we have in Christ and the subjective holiness produced by the Holy Spirit are both gifts of God’s grace and are both appropriated by faith.

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oven to 350&deg;F.  Grease & flour 2 9"x5" loaf pans Cream butter & sugar.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.  In a separate
bowl, mix together all dry ingredients, except raisins and poppyseeds. In a
measuring cup mix milk, water & flavoring.  There should be just over 1 cup
liquid.  Add dry mixture and liquids alternately to creamed mixture,
beating well after each addition. Add poppyseeds & blend thoroughtly, then
add the raisins and stir them in gently by hand (to prevent the
flour-coating from coming off which will send all the raisins to the bottom
of the cake!) Pour batter into prepared pans and bake appx. 1 hour 10
minutes (till the edges pull away from the sides of the pan, and a skewer
stuck in the center comes out clean). This is a very densely textured cake,
not like the standard white-cake type of poppyseed cake.

A Message from our Provider:

“Find God and you find everything”

Those who have reservations about equating immediate post-sermonic calls for physical response (initiated by a planed appeal for such) with following the will of God desire strong biblical rationale before they can approve it. Baptism, incorporation into a believing group, regular worship and fellowship with other believers, and day-by-day pursuit of holiness and acts of Christian love – all these have the character of confessing Christ before men and are specifically commended, as well as notably exemplified, in Scripture. Where is either the mandate or example of the engineered call to “come to the front” stated as an act of obedience to God's call to repentance? When walking down an aisle is tantamount to following Christ and professing Him before men, the biblical idea of godliness has vanished. The system that relies on the altar call encourages these perversions.
