Do you believe? 'I believe,' says one, and he begins to repeat what they call the 'Apostles’ Creed.' Hold your tongue, sir! That matters not; the devil believes that, perhaps more intelligently than you do; he believes and trembles. That kind of believing saves no man. You may believe the most orthodox creed in Christendom, and perish. Do you trust - for that is the cream of the word 'believe' - do you trust in Jesus? Do you lean your whole weight on Him? Have you that faith which the Puritans used to call 'recumbency' or 'leaning'? This is the faith that saves - faith that falls back into the arms of Jesus, a faith that drops from its own hanging-place into those mighty arms.

C.H. Spurgeon

Preparation: 1. Slice the tomatoes in half like oranges and squeeze each
half to remove the seeds and juice.
2. Toast the bread until barely browned
3. Rub the unpeeled garlic over one side of the toasted bread. Rub the cut
side of the tomato onto the garlicked surface of the bread. The tomato will
grate itself into the rough surface of the bread.
4. Place the bread slices on a serving dish and drizzle with extra virgin
olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
