Agh I'm having a craving for green tea icecream!!

1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoon powdered green tea
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup light cream

Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring, until the sugar melts, and simmer the syrup for 5 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of the syrup with the powdered green tea, then add that mixture to the syrup in the saucepan, and stir until evenly mixed.

Add the light cream and heavy cream , pour into an ice cream freezer, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.

Now I'm wishing for an icecream maker!! though eating this stuff probably wouldn't be too good for me :(

Reading through Colossians again (I love that book!) - Colossians 1:10 sets a challenge: "Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.""

Walking "worthy of the Lord" would mean acting in a way that shows how worthy and able and gracious and strong the Lord is. So it is with the phrases "worthy of God" and "worthy of the Lord" and "worthy of the gospel" and "worthy of the calling." They mean: Act in a way that fits the great value and glorious nature of God and the gospel and your calling. And what fits with that great value? Faith. Above all things, faith and its fruit of love fits the worth of God and the gospel.

So think this way. NOT: I must have faith and love so as to be worth God's favor; BUT RATHER: God's favor is free and it is infinitely worth trusting. Walking worthy of that favor means walking by faith, because faith is the one thing that agrees with our bankruptcy and God's infinite "worth." Looking to God's infinite worth for our help and satisfaction is "walking worthy of God."

Wanting to walk ever more worthily of God with you,
Pastor John
