Came To Serve

Light,fluffy melt-in-your mouth whipped cream makes a delicious topping for cakes. Unfortunately, It can also pose a challenge for an amateur home baker like me. It always seems impossible to have whipped cream hold up to the job of decorating cake.

I have tried my utmost best to frost this Lemon Chiffon and this is as good as it gets. What matters is the taste of this finished product after all. Moist and airy cake filled with a thick,soft and creamy lemon curd that has a wonderful tart yet sweet flavour.

Christian Ministry

Matthew 20:28

Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Christian Ministry is service to God and to other people as Christ himself provided the pattern for Christian ministry. Jesus came, not to receive service, but to give.
