Raspberry Linzer Tart – We Love God!

The biblical view of the body is…quite positive: 1. God created us as physical beings. We are both material and immaterial (Gen. 2:7). 2. The body must be distinguished from the flesh. 3. The importance of the body is seen in the fact that: a. Our bodies were redeemed by the blood of Christ no less than our souls (1 Cor. 6:20). b. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19). c. Our bodies are designed “for the Lord” (1 Cor. 6:13). d. Our bodies are members of Christ Himself (1 Cor. 6:15). e. Our bodies are capable of being sinned against (1 Cor. 6:18). f. Our bodies are to be used to honor God (1 Cor. 6:20). 4. Our bodies will be resurrected and glorified. In other words, we will spend eternity as physically glorified beings (Rom. 8:11, 23; 1 Cor. 15:35-49). 5. At the judgment seat of Christ we will have to give an account for what we have done in our bodies.

salt; beat just until well blended.  Measure 3/4 c of  dough; flatten

remaining dough over bottom and up sides of 9" tart  pan with removable
bottom. Pierce dough in several places with fork.  Chill at least 1
hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.)  Preheat 375o.  Bake

over chocolate,  spacing evenly.  Stir jam in small saucepan over low
heat until  melted and smooth. Spoon jam over raspberries.  Bake tart
until crust is golden brown, about 35 minutes (filling will  appear
slightly liquid but will set as tart cools). Transfer tart to  rack and

sugar. Serve with whipped cream  Posted to EAT-L Digest -  3 June 96

To really make a difference, to really receive the abundant life promised to us, to really be used by God in the world, we need to take radical steps of faith every day. Ask yourself, where does your faith (to the point it stretches you) differ from an unbeliever? We are far too easily pleased with lesser joys! Do we have the faith to leave the kiddy pool and move out into deeper waters? Do we have the faith to expect great things from God? Often we are often not given the details and there are often hardships along the way, but the life of faith is the life that marks God’s children.
