Two-corn Bread – We Love God!

We need to be careful that we do not add our own man-made rules to the Scriptures. Some convictions that we hold dearly may be derived more from our particular Christian culture than derived from Scripture, and we need to learn to discern the differences. It is okay to have cultural convictions, but we should be careful that we do not elevate them to the same authority as Scripture. So much judgmentalism among Christians today occurs because we do this.

		crosswise into 1/2-inch
		pieces
1/2	c	Yellow corn flour
		whole-grain coarse
1/2	c	Masa harina
1/2	t	Baking soda

1	c	Buttermilk
1		Egg, lightly beaten

INSTRUCTIONS

This is best eaten warm from the oven, but it's also delicious
toasted.  Preheat oven to 450Â°F. Put the bacon in a 10-inch cast-iron
skillet  and cook in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the fat is
rendered.  Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, masa
harina,  baking soda and salt. Stir in the buttermilk and egg just
until  blended; do not overmix.  Swirl the bacon to coat the pan with
the drippings, then remove the  bacon from the pan and discard. Stir
any excess drippings into the  batter, then pour the batter into the
hot pan and spread evenly with  a spoon. Bake for about 10 minutes, or
until the bread is set and a  knife inserted into the center comes out
clean. Serve hot.  Per serving: 164 Calories; 4g Fat (23% calories from

So parents, where are your teenagers with the Lord? I am not asking if they come to church or even profess Jesus. The demons believe in Jesus and thousands of unbelievers will be attending churches all over America this morning. I am asking you where is there heart with the Lord? Do they have an interest to read their Bibles? Are they engaged in a ministry at the church? Are they reading any Christian literature or listening to any Christian music? Are they posting anything about their faith on social media? Have they memorized Scripture lately? Do they enjoy being with other Christian teens? Would they come to church without your prodding? Are they telling any of their friends about the Savior? As Jesus said, the fruit reveals the nature of the tree. Based on the fruit, is Jesus Christ really number one in their lives?
