Repentance is the desire and ability to turn from sin. We cannot have Christ and Satan. So true believers will want to please God. They will be convicted by the Word of God. They will have a general brokenness over their sin. They will desire to turn from it. They will be able to turn from it. That’s repentance. It’s a gift that God gives His children. It initiates salvation and then continues throughout our life of salvation.

INSTRUCTIONS

GARNISH
Skin and bone chicken breasts and cut them on the diagonal into strips
about 3/8" wide.  Toss chicken with cracked pepper, garlic, and 1 tb. of
the olive oil. Marinate, covered and refrigerated, for an hour or as long
as overnight.
When ready to serve, bring ample water to boil to cook the pasta.
Heat remaining olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken
and lightly brown it all over, about 3 minutes. Add chicken broth and lemon
juice; reduce heat to a simmer.  Simmer the sauce for about 8 minutes.
Cook pasta until it is just done.  While pasta is cooking, chop savory or
parsley leaves and add them to the chicken. Adjust sauce with lemon juice
and/or salt to taste.
Drain pasta and toss with the chicken.  Serve the dish hot, passing the
Parmesan separately.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
Belsinger and Dille write: "Pepper's pungency plays off the flavors of
starches and mild meats especially well. For a vegetarian version of pasta
with pepper, toss hot pasta with the Spicy Butter with Four Peppercorns,
some lemon juice, and chopped savory or parsley; serve with Parmesan."

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus feels your pain”

We see the word “grace” used in 2 Corinthians 8:4. Paul says, “Begging us with much urging for the favor of participation in the support of the saints.” NASB uses “favor.” NIV uses “privilege.” Both are the English translations for the Greek word “charis,” “grace.” Giving to God’s work is often seen as a burden, a reluctant action that will now make us go without something we want to do a whole lot more with that money – not only a horrible thought, but also an unbiblical perspective. It may shock us, but the Bible describes giving as a blessing, a privilege for many reasons. We are blessed when we give. Didn’t Jesus Himself say, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Ac. 20:28). Don’t we read in 2 Corinthians 9:6 that “he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully?” You want bountiful blessings from God? Then you must sow bountifully! How about the long-term blessing too – the spiritual rewards forever in heaven that Jesus promised. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal” (Mt. 6:19-20).
