We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The book of Proverbs is, in ways, a treatise on talk. I would summarize it this way: words give life; words bring death – you choose. What does this mean? It means you have never spoken a neutral word in your life. Your words have direction to them. If your words are moving in the life direction, they will be words of encouragement, hope, love, peace, unity, instruction, wisdom, and correction. But if your words are moving in a death direction, they will be words of anger, malice, slander, jealousy, gossip, division, contempt, racism, violence, judgment, and condemnation. Your words have direction to them. When you hear the word talk you ought to hear something that is high and holy and significant and important. May God help us never to look at talk as something that doesn’t matter.

If light reading is our passion, then Owen’s prose style is not for us. His paragraphs are tightly packed; his thoughts demanding. His analysis of the heart cannot be skimmed quickly. But in our age of constant and instant upgrade to faster models, this is exactly what many of us need: a slow read, a careful application- allowing ourselves to feel the wounds made by Owen’s sensitive eye surgery, and, as a result, discovering that we see our God more clearly, that we love His Son more fully and serve Him in the power of the Spirit more thoroughly. If this is what we need - as it surely is - Owen, though dead, still speaks, and in providence of God is still there to help and guide us.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preparation time: 25 minutes.  Cooking time: 1 hour. Yield: 9 1/2 cups.
1.  Heat oil in 3-quart non-aluminum saucepan over medium-high heat. Add
garlic, onion, carrots and  1/2 cup of the zucchini. Cook, stirring often,
until onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Add kidney beans, tomatoes and
their liquid, tomato paste, beef broth, 1 1/2 cups water, brown sugar,
chili powder, cumin, oregano and salt. Stir until combined. Simmer,
covered, stirring occasionally, 40 minutes.
2.  Add remaining zucchini, bulgur wheat and corn kernels. Simmer 10
minutes more.  Add remaining  1/2 cup water as necessary. Taste and adjust
seasoning. Serve hot. Pass light sour cream or low-fat yogurt, sliced green
onions and cilantro leaves separately. Note: This is a highly flavorful,
crunchy and substantial chili. As with most chilis, it's best made at least
a day ahead so the flavors fully develop. Can be made up to 3 days ahead
and refrigerated or frozen as long as 3 months. Reheat gently, adjusting
water and seasoning as needed.
