A List You Don’t Want To Miss!

When was the last time you looked at a list? Lists are everywhere in life. Many people keep a list of things to do each day. It seems that almost everyone has a list of some kind. It is reported that Santa has a list and he checks it twice! The truth of the matter is we would love to be off many of the list we are on. But God is compiling a list that you don’t want to miss. To a few faithful Christians in the otherwise dead Church in Sardis, Jesus sent this encouraging message in Revelation 3:5, “He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments and I will not blot his name out of the Book of Life.” The Apostle Paul referred to this list in Philippians 4:3 where he ex-pressed certainty that the names of those who labored with him in the gospel were in the Book of Life.

“My Mother’s Fig Cake” Recipe from Betty Tarver

“[‘Tis] one of my favorite things my mother, Evelyn, used to make for our family of four in West Columbia, Texas. I was seven years old in 1958 and, partaking along with my two sisters, I can still recall the first taste of this exquisitely moist, spiced fig cake. I wish I had some of her preserves,” remembers Betty Tarver of Marlin, TX.
