"Are they Israelites? so am I."-2 Corinthians 11:22
    
    We have here A PERSONAL CLAIM, and one that needs proof. The apostle knew that His claim was indisputable, but there are many persons who have no right to the title who yet claim to belong to the Israel of God. If we are with confidence declaring, "So am I also an Israelite," let us only say it after having searched our heart as in the presence of God. But if we can give proof that we are following Jesus, if we can from the heart say, "I trust Him wholly, trust Him only, trust Him simply, trust Him now, and trust Him ever," then the position which the saints of God hold belongs to us-all their enjoyments are our possessions; we may be the very least in Israel, "less than the least of all saints," yet since the mercies of God belong to the saints AS SAINTS, and not as advanced saints, or well-taught saints, we may put in our plea, and say, "Are they Israelites? so am I; therefore the promises are mine, grace is mine, glory will be mine." The claim, rightfully made, is one which will yield untold comfort. When God's people are rejoicing that they are His, what a happiness if they can say, "So AM I!" When they speak of being pardoned, and justified, and accepted in the Beloved, how joyful to respond, "Through the grace of God, SO AM I." But this claim not only has its enjoyments and privileges, but also its conditions and duties. We must share with God's people in cloud as well as in sunshine. When we hear them spoken of with contempt and ridicule for being Christians, we must come boldly forward and say, "So am I." When we see them working for Christ, giving their time, their talent, their whole heart to Jesus, we must be able to say, "So do I." O let us prove our gratitude by our devotion, and live as those who, having claimed a privilege, are willing to take the responsibility connected with it.

pull-apart pizza


My girls love this pull-apart pizza. You may eat it with your fingers; however, it is pretty messy that way. But it is oh, so yummy!


Ingredients:

2 - cans of biscuits (10 count tubes)
1 - can of pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce (26 oz. can) Note: we don't use the whole can, but we like saucy.
toppings of your choice:
we use pepperoni and Canadian bacon
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (my girls like adding cheddar cheese too for making it colorful)

Sorry I don't have a picture of them putting it together. This picture is after it is all together before putting it in the oven.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray 9 x 13 inch pan.
Cut biscuits into 4's and drop randomly and evenly over the bottom of the pan. Some overlapping and layering is ok.
top with sauce. As much as you like, we like saucy. However, we don't use the whole 26 oz. can of sauce. maybe about 20 oz. Add cheese and toppings. You are now ready to put in the oven. Bake 20 to 30 minutes cheese golden and biscuits cooked.


Remove from oven cut and Enjoy. It disappears as quick as it is made. It is very easy to pull-apart into bite size pieces.
