We Love God!

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

If you are truly trusting in Christ, you can’t confess a sin for which God has not provided forgiveness in Jesus. Indeed, if you work at the discipline of confessing your sin, it should not lead to despair at all, but rather to rejoicing over the extent of God’s love to you in Christ.
Mark Dever

If Jesus were not raised from the dead, the disciples were at best fools, and at worst, liars. What we know about the Christian life comes from the pen of men moved and guided by God to write the words we call the New Testament. The original apostles died martyrs’ deaths on the basis of their belief that the resurrection took place just as predicted, and that they saw Him alive again. If it were not true, then they were either duped, or else they fabricated the resurrection as a means to shore up the movement. But would they pay the ultimate price for a lie they had manufactured in order to have a job? Not so. Paul speaks of the absurdity of this in the following way: “And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ “(1 Cor. 15:14-15).

    INGREDIENTS

    1 sl Bacon, or 2 Tbsp. olive oil
    1/2 lg Onion, chopped coarsely
    3 Cloves garlic
    1 Serrano chili peppers, (1 to 2) or 1 tsp. oriental hot chili paste, optional
    8 oz Italian tomatoes, or 1-8 oz can tomato sauce (not paste)

    INSTRUCTIONS

    SAUCE
Cut bacon into 1 inch pieces. Saute. Add garlic and onion to the bacon (or
olive oil if using that) and saute lightly. Dice the Roma tomatoes (or open
the can of sauce!) and add to the sauteed onions and garlic. Also add the
hot peppers/sauce at this time. Turn heat to low. Simmer the tomatoes until
the sauce is nicely thickened. With fresh tomatoes this could take a half
hour. Add salt to taste. Cook the dried pasta in boiling water until done.
Drain. Serve immediately placing a few tablespoons of sauce on top of the
pasta. This isn't Ragu or Prego, so don't pour it on too thickly. In this
case, less is better. Note: the sauce is especially tasty if it can be made
several hours ahead. The flavors develop better. Also, the bacon really is
essential to this dish. It adds an interesting taste dimension that the
olive oil doesn't have. It adds a smoky dimension to it; it is really
indescribable. It is very tasty without the hot peppers also. We usually
add the peppers at the table rather than in the cooking.
