The ultimate issue in question is the authority of the Bible over our lives. Who is in charge? Who gets the final word? And the way that men (even saved but sinful men) avoid God’s authority is through autonomy: a self-determination that pursues self-sufficiency producing self-rule. It may not be an “intentional” self-determination – indeed we may be unthinkingly swept along by the influences of our culture – but the outcome is the same: a self-sufficiency (in place of God’s sufficiency through His Word) that results in self-rule.

INSTRUCTIONS

Thanks to Rael, I've banished the lima bean demons of my youth. Never could
stand the sight, smell, or taste of the suckers. However, without too much
tequila (applied internally), I tried the following slight variation on
Rael's lima recipe. The result was such a sweet, buttery tasting concoction
I can't wait to make (and devour) more.
Saute onion and garlic in olive oil. Add the remaining ingredients, cover
with water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer (covered).
Cook this until beans are tender - about 1 1/2 hours. Be careful to add
water as needed. Chop 1/2 bunch of fresh parsley and stir in just before
serving. Enjoy.
