Scottish Scones With Cinnamon Sugar Topping (ideal For Cu

The problem of evil assumes the existence of a world-purpose. What, we are really asking, is the purpose of suffering? It seems purposeless. Our question of the why of evil assumes the view that the world has a purpose, and what we want to know is how suffering fits into and advances this purpose. The modern view is that suffering has no purpose because nothing that happens has any purpose: the world is run by causes, not by purposes (Walter Stace).

INSTRUCTIONS

           APPROXIMATE:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (400 if using convection).
Lightly grease a baking sheet.  In large food processor bowl, mix first
4 ingredients. Add butter  chunks and process until crumbly. Add
buttermilk and egg, stirring in  just until moistened. Be very careful
not to overwork the dough.  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work
surface and gently pat out  into a circle approximately 7" in diameter.
Using a sharp knife,  divide into equal triangular pieces (makes 6
pieces). Use a large  spatula to transfer to a lightly greased baking
sheet.  Generously brush tops of wedges with heavy cream, then brush a
second  time with cream. In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar,
sugar,  and cinnamon and combine with a fork until all ingredients are
mixed  and sugars are grainy. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar generously over
tops  of wedges.  Bake for 12-15 minutes, until scones are lightly
golden. Tops of  scones may crack a bit with the sugary topping, but
this is desired.  Serve immediately.  Makes 6 triangle-shaped scones.
NOTE: scones are best served when fresh and warm from the oven.  Posted

Sin is not an option for the believer. How can you continue in sin when that sin was paid for in the torn flesh of Jesus? How can you look longingly upon Satan’s offerings when the cross of Christ is in front of your eyes? Christ’s love constrains our hearts to seek holiness. The fact that sin has no lasting benefits remains true, but it is not simply because sin doesn't pay that you are to turn your back on the tempter. The fact that sin will not get you what you really want in life is not nearly a powerful enough defense to guard you against the attractiveness of Satan’s lies and the fickleness of your heart. Only a deep grasp of the gospel has the power to bring about deep change in your heart. It is knowing the terrible price that has already been paid for your sin that enables you to say no to sin.
