Sin…consists in doing, saying, thinking, or imagining, anything that is not in perfect conformity with the mind and law of God. “Sin,” in short, as the Scripture says, is “the transgression of the law” (1 Jn. 3:4). The slightest outward or inward departure from absolute mathematical parallelism with God’s revealed will and character constitutes a sin, and at once makes us guilty in God’s sight… There are sins of omission as well as commission, and that we sin…by “leaving undone the things we ought to do,” as really as by “doing the things we ought not to do.”

INSTRUCTIONS

DRESSING
SALAD
*packed in fruit juice
1. To prepare the dressing: In a blender or food processor, pur.e the
drained pear halves with the lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt and
pepper until very smooth and silky. Transfer to a jar, cover and
refrigerate.
2. To prepare the salad: Place the chopped walnuts in a small dry skillet.
Toast over medium heat about 4 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from the pan
and set aside.
3. Place the salad mix in a bowl and cover with a paper towel. Refrigerate
until ready to serve.
4. Peel the tough outer skin from the bell pepper with a vegetable peeler.
(You probably won't be able to get all of the peeling off, especially in
the crevices of the pepper.) Stem, seed and finely sliver the pepper; put
into the bowl with the salad.
5. Just before serving, core and dice the pear and add to the salad with
the walnuts and Gorgonzola. Add the dressing, toss to coat and serve.

A Message from our Provider:

“God is waiting for you”

The sinner in hell does not become morally neutral upon his sentence to hell. We must not imagine the damned sinner displaying gospel repentance and longing for the presence of Christ. The damned indeed are longing for an escape from punishment, but they are not 'new creations.' They do not, in hell, love the Lord their God with heart, mind, soul, and strength. Instead, they are now handed over to the full display of their natures apart from grace, natures that are satanic (John 8:44). Thus, the condemnation continues forever and ever and ever, with no end in view either for the sin or the punishment thereof.

Russell Moore

Vision can sometimes be a terrible burden. God may give a vision without the context of the time it will take to become the vision. Sometimes church leaders feel that because they have a vision, it must happen quickly. I am reminded of Joseph and the vision he had from God. I wonder how often Joseph sat in that jail cell expecting to be delivered at any moment, when it was going to be over 13 years until he was free and God’s vision began to manifest itself. What a long time and much preparation between vision and the working out of the vision! Wisdom would dictate that we prepare to do what we can when we can, and then wait on the Lord and His timing to bring the vision to fruition.
