Name: Weihnacht Plaetzchen (Christmas Cookies)
Ingredients: 1 c Butter; 3/4 c Sugar; 3 Egg yolks; 2 1/2 c Flour; 1 ts Vanilla OR lemon extract; 1/4 ts Almond extract; Colored sugar; Nuts; Candied cherries

God's sovereign election and man's exercise of responsibility in choosing Jesus Christ seem opposite and irreconcilable truths - and from our limited perspective they are opposite and irreconcilable. That is why so many earnest, well-meaning Christians throughout the history of the church have floundered trying to reconcile them. Since the problem cannot be resolved by our finite minds, the result is always to compromise one truth in favor of the other or to weaken both by trying to take a position somewhere between them. We should let the antimony remain, believing both truths completely and leaving the harmonizing of them to God.

A Message from our Provider:

“Christ gives Life!”

[Benefits of] expounding the Scriptures: 1. [It] encourages the congregation to bring their Bibles to church, and everything that leads believers to value the Scriptures is important. 2. Exposition may open the Scriptures to them and create in them a desire to meditate for themselves. When they again read over the portion of the Word which has been expounded, they will remember what has been said. Thus, it leaves a more lasting impression on their minds. 3. Expounding large portions of the Word, such as an entire gospel or epistle, leads the teacher to consider portions of the Word which he might otherwise overlook. This keeps him from speaking too much on favorite subjects and leaning too much to particular parts of truth – a tendency which will surely sooner or later injure both himself and his hearers.
