The excessive preeminence given to the Holy Spirit in their devotions and their preoccupation with gifts, ecstasies, and “prophecies” has tended to neglect of the Scriptures. Why be tied to a Book out of the past when one can communicate every day with the living God? But this is exactly the danger point. Apart from the constant control of the written revelation, we soon find ourselves engulfed in subjectivity; and the believer, even if he has the best intentions, can sink rapidly into deviations, illuminism or exaltation. Let each remind himself of the prohibition of taking anything away from Scripture or adding anything to it (Deut. 4:2; Rev. 22:18–19). Almost every heresy and sect has originated in a supposed revelation or a new experience on the part of its founder, something outside the strictly biblical framework.

INGREDIENTS

1	c	Water
1/2	c	Quinoa
3	md	Ripe tomatoes
1	c	Parsley
1	c	Scallions
1/3	c	Freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/3	c	Safflower oil
2	tb	Fresh mint
		Salt; to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Note:  The author says that 1 tsp. dried mint could be used, but dried mint
is nasty stuff, IMHO!
Pour water into a 1-quart saucepan.  Add quinoa; bring to a boil. Reduce
heat to a simmer; cover.  Cook for 10 to 15 min., or until all water has
been absorbed.
While the quinoa is cooking, finely chop the tomatoes, parsley, and
scallions.  Add lemon juice, oil, and mint to tomato mixture. Stir in
cooked quinoa and salt. Mix well.
Let tabouli sit in the refrigerator for a day to blend flavors.
Note:  Also, she neglected to mention that tabouli is traditionally served
at room temperature.
The recipe was from Linda Najjar of Seattle, Washington, and the "Herb
Companion" note on it said: "Substituting quinoa for the traditional bulgur
wheat gives this tabouli a lighter, fluffier, and slightly nutty taste and
enables people allergic to wheat to experience the flavorful joys of this
Middle Eastern dish."
