We Love God!

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

Theologians have an interesting question. Does Scripture teach that man is no longer in the image of God? Or does it suggest that the image remains but has been grossly defaced? In many ways (the latter) is an even more tragic prospect. We might well be justified in thinking that there could be no greater disaster than that the likeness of God should be exterminated. But in fact there is. What if the image of God, in which His greatness and glory are reflected, becomes a distortion of His character? What if, instead of reflecting His glory, man begins to reflect the very antithesis of God? What if God's image becomes an anti-god? This, essentially, is the affront which fallen man is to God. He takes all that God has lavished upon him to enable him to live in free and joyful obedience, and he transforms it into a weapon by which he can oppose His Maker. The very breath, which God gives him thousands of times each day, he abuses by his sin. The magnitude of his sin is also the measure of his need of salvation.

INGREDIENTS

8 Boneless loin lamb chops; cut 1-inch thick (about 2 lbs total), trimmed of excess fat and tied
1/4 c Extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Fresh rosemary; minced
1 lb Mushrooms; sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 lb Fresh spinach; stemmed and rinsed
1/2 c Dry red wine
3 tb Unsalted butter

INSTRUCTIONS

JUDI M. PHELPS
Preheat the broiler.  Rub the chops all over with 2 tablespoons of the
olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the rosemary. Set
the chops aside.
In a large heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over high
heat.  Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon
rosemary. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown, about 5
minutes.  Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
Broil the lamb chops about 5 inches from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes on
each side, or until golden brown on the outside and rosy pink in the
center.  Remove the string from each chop. Reheat the mushrooms briefly
over moderate heat and arrange neatly down the center of a warmed serving
platter.  Put the chops on top of the mushrooms.
In the large nonreactive skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil
over moderately high heat.  Add the spinach and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon
salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until wilted and tender but still bright
green, about 4 minutes.  Spoon the spinach around the chops. Cover to keep
warm.
Add the wine to the pan and cook over high heat until it is reduced to 1/4
cup, about 4 minutes.  Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the butter. Pour
over the chops and serve.
