When a Christian walks irreprovably, his enemies have nowhere to fasten their teeth on him, but are forced to gnaw their own malignant tongues. As it secures the godly, thus to stop the lying mouths of foolish men, so it is as painful to them to be thus stopped, as muzzling is to beasts, and it punishes their malice. And this is a wise Christian's way, instead of impatiently fretting at the mistakes or willful miscensures of men, to keep still on his calm temper of mind, and upright course of life, and silent innocence; this, as a rock, breaks the waves into foam that roar about it.

Into a bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder, the baking soda,
the salt, and the sugar. In a small skillet cook the garlic with the
rosemary and the pepper in the reserved oil from the sundried tomatoes over
moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened and fragrant but not
brown. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, the milk, the shortening,
and the garlic mixture, add the flour mixture, and stir the batter until it
is just combined. Stir in the sundried tomatoes, the olives, the capers,
the parsley, and the Parmesan, divide the batter among 4 buttered and
floured loaf pans and bake the breads in the middle of preheated 350 degree
oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Remove the
breads from the pans and let them cool, right sides up, on a rack. The
breads keep, wrapped well in plastic wrap and foil, chilled for 1 week or

A Message from our Provider:

“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
