Seeking mortification of sin just to quiet the soul and find relief from the torment of the conscience, all the while neglecting to deal with the root cause of sin, is a result of self-love. Men are diverted from coming to God this way. This is of the most common deception in which men ruin their souls. They seek to apply themselves to victory over the troubling sin but do not allow their conviction to lead them to the gospel. They perish in their 'reformation'.

INSTRUCTIONS

Faced with the need for a fast dinner , I whipped up the following and
frankly, it turned out to be a "eat more than it's good for you" soup, the
kind you can't leave alone until the pot is empty.... here goes:
1. Toss the cooked and skinned squash in a food processor and puree until
the whole thang is a smooth mass.
2. Add both cans of the condensed milk and re-puree to blend. RESERVE a
couple of tablespoons of the condensed milk for a decorative swirl in the
bowl just before you serve!
3. Toss the whole mess in a large saucepan or soup pot and begin to gently
heat through. Add the regular milk and blend in well. Add spices to taste,
go easy on the nutmeg until it is really heated thru, or you'll use way too
much! Jim's powder is the main spice for this feast......
4. Ladle into the bowls and garnish with chopped green onions, peanuts, and
a swirl of the condensed milk.
5. Enjoy! This is really nice with any savory bread, I was thinking a nice
cheddar cheese-jalapeno bread....
This is also nice with a dollop of chipotles in adobado plopped in.... and,
I imagine, with bacon, tho that's just a dream for a vegetarian like me...

A Message from our Provider:

“A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.”

Unfortunately, many people think that patience is most predominately demonstrated by someone who has an easy going, laid-back attitude. But, on the contrary, patience is not some passive nuance of someone’s character; it is an active, exhibited virtue. It is a virtue of trust. To exercise trust implies that we are trusting in someone greater than ourselves. It is no wonder the world is so impatient. Those who do not know God can only trust in themselves, for there is no one greater in whom they can place their trust. Their confidence is self-confidence, their esteem is self-esteem, and their reliance is self-reliance… If we trust in ourselves, then we are a hopeless people. But we are the people of God who place our trust in the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things. Indeed, we do not know patience apart from Him; we are patient precisely because He is patient toward us, enduring with us to the very end. Therefore, we live coram Deo, for in Him we live, move, and have our being, and in Him our patience is perfected.
