Making Biscuits

My wife and I were married 50 years ago on this past March twenty-third. It wasn’t long before I learned something about her that I had not previously known – her mother had taught her how to make delicious biscuits. She told me that secret was using enough shortening. Well, I decided to surprise her one morning and make the biscuits. Now, I reasoned that if a good dob of shortening made‘em that good, a double dob would make ‘em that much better. Friends, when they came out of the oven, they would have smashed a foot if they had fallen on it. They were more like hockey pucks than biscuits.

What’s my point? Just this, some things do not work unless the directions are closely followed.

God tells us that He has given us “all things that pertain to life and godliness.” He warned that His Word must not be added to or diminished from. It is perfect as it is. When perverted by additions or subtractions, it will not save. The Message: Don’t add to – Don’t take away from.
