INSTRUCTIONS

Preliminaries: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Scrub and dry potatoes.
If desired, rub with a little vegetable oil or vegetable shortening.
Prick in several places with fork. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour.
Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Meanwhile prepare the
mushrooms. If using shiitake, remove and discard the stems. Cut
mushrooms in half and thinly slice. Melt butter or margarine in a
large skillet. Add oil. Cook mushrooms on medium-high heat until
softened, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt and
pepper; set aside. Cut baked potatoes in half lengthwise and allow to
cool long enough to handle. Scoop out flesh with bowl of spoon, being
careful to leave shells intact (leaving about 1/4 inch of shell).  Mash
potato flesh with potato masher or beat with an electric mixer.  Stir
in cheese and whipping cream. Add mushrooms and gently stir.  Fill
potato shells with mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20  minutes.
Sprinkle with paprika and serve.  From article by Cathy Thomas, Orange

Repentance is a theme that belongs in the gospel presentation to the degree that we could say one has not preached the biblical gospel if one has not preached repentance. In Acts 17 verse 30 the Bible says, 'God commands all men everywhere to repent.' God commands all men everywhere to repent. If we are faithful preachers of the message of God, then we must in God's name command all men everywhere to repent. Matthew 9:13 says that Jesus Christ came to call sinners to repentance. Second Peter 3:9, 'God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.' Luke 15:7 and 10 indicates that there is joy in heaven over one sinner brought to repentance. And in Luke 24:47, the Great Commission Jesus gave is that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to all people.Our message is repentance. It is a hard message. It is a harsh message. It confronts sin. It unmasks hypocrisy. It denies superficiality. You cannot preach the true gospel apart from repentance. John came preaching repentance, the Bible says. Jesus came preaching repentance. The apostles preached repentance. Christ commands repentance. He does it at least three times in just Revelation 2 and 3. God saves through repentance. In fact, in Acts 11:18 it calls repentance, 'Repentance unto life.' There is no spiritual life; there is no eternal life without repentance. In Acts 5:31 it is said Christ is exalted as a Savior to give repentance and the forgiveness of sins.
