We should never be afraid to examine ourselves. But when doubts do arise, the solution is not to try harder to prove to ourselves that we are believers. The solution is to flee to the cross and to the righteousness of Christ, which is our only hope. And then, having looked to Christ alone for our justification, we can look to His Spirit to enable us to deal with those areas of our lives that cause doubt.

ESSENCE OF EMERIL SHOW#EE2296
Preheat the grill. For the sauce: In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. When
the pan is smoking hot, saute the shallots and garlic for 1 minute. Add the
dried fruit and saute for 1 minute. Cover the sauteed fruit with the veal
reduction. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes.
For the apples: Completely coat each ring with the olive oil. Season with
salt and pepper. Place the apple rings on the hot grill. Grill for 1-2

grilled apples like a nest in the center of the plate. Place the fois gras
