As far as the apostles were concerned, they were as weak as any other men. They were uneducated, very ordinary men. Yet they are given this privileged position: they will deliver the Word of God through the Son to the world. From God the Father, through the Son, through the Spirit, and through the apostles to the world. In this sense, the apostles are 'foundational' to the church... Theological and ethical instruction from the apostles is universally binding. Indeed, it is 'from God to us.'

1 cup of the hot milk mixture into yolks. Then whisk yolk mixture into hot
milk mixture. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until custard thickens
enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat; cool to lukewarm.
Put pumpkin puree in a bowl, and whisk about 1 cup of the warm custard into
the pumpkin. Whisk all the pumpkin mixture and the spices into the warm
custard. Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's

cream and nuts, if desired.

A Message from our Provider:

“Your life will have a purpose with the Saviour.”

To think that everyone in heaven is equally knowledgeable, equally holy, equally capable or enjoying God, is to argue that the progress we make now on earth is irrelevant to our heavenly state. But we are often exhorted to do things now precisely because it will build up and increase for us treasure in heaven. Not everyone responds to these commands in the same way or to the same degree or with the same measure of faithfulness. Thus people will enter heaven at differing degrees of holiness, love, and joy. All will be subject to increase and expansion based on the depth and measure of our development here on earth. What we do and know and achieve now, by God’s grace, will have eternal consequences.
