Name: Spice Bag "Gift Decorations"

[Benefits of] expounding the Scriptures: 1. [It] encourages the congregation to bring their Bibles to church, and everything that leads believers to value the Scriptures is important. 2. Exposition may open the Scriptures to them and create in them a desire to meditate for themselves. When they again read over the portion of the Word which has been expounded, they will remember what has been said. Thus, it leaves a more lasting impression on their minds. 3. Expounding large portions of the Word, such as an entire gospel or epistle, leads the teacher to consider portions of the Word which he might otherwise overlook. This keeps him from speaking too much on favorite subjects and leaning too much to particular parts of truth – a tendency which will surely sooner or later injure both himself and his hearers.

INSTRUCTIONS

This year I copped out and gave gift certificates at work. To add a more
personal touch, I included these spice bags, which were a hit. They're
basically from my BH&G cookbook, and function as "spice teabags" for mulled
wine, mulled cider, etc. (one bag is enough for 2 quarts of cider) Even if
they're not used, they're still cute and they smell good.
roll all ingredients up in a 6-7" square of cheesecloth: (double layer of
cheesecloth if it's the really flimsy kind).
tie the bag with a length of string or colored cotton yarn (rinse the yarn
in boiling water first, so it won't fade). tuck in another cinammon stick
around the "neck" of the bag. good luck trying to use the rest of the
bottles of allspice and cloves that you bought just for this little project

A Message from our Provider:

“You’ve achieved nothing until you find God”

Whenever a Christian converses with a non-Christian about the truth of the faith, every request of the non-Christian for the proof of Christianity should be met with an equally serious request of proof for the non-Christian's philosophy of life. Otherwise we get the false impression that the Christian worldview is tentative and uncertain, while the more secular worldviews are secure and sure, standing above the need to give a philosophical and historical accounting of themselves. But that is not the case. Many people who demand that Christians produce proof of our claims do not make the same demand upon themselves.
