What then should we say when we are trying to lead someone to Christ? I think a better picture is simply what the New Testament uses as its normative word - πίστις/πιστεύω. The noun form (πίστις) can be translated 'faith,' 'belief,' or 'trust.' The verb can be translated 'I believe,' 'I have faith,' 'I trust.' In some contexts the object of belief is emphasized (namely, Christ); in other contexts, the kind of belief is emphasized (namely, a genuine trust, an embracing). Thus, πίστις has this twofold force of content and conviction. To be saved, one must have the right object of faith (content); and one must truly put his trust entirely in that object (conviction).

INGREDIENTS

1	bn	Celery
1	bn	Parsley; small
1/2		Onion; medium
1	c	Mayonnaise
3	tb	Vinegar
		Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut celery in short lengths and then mince all vegetables finely in food
processor or chopping bowl. Just before serving, dress with mayonnaise
thinned with a little vinegar to taste, and salt to taste. Any leftovers
will get watery after standing awhile, but can be drained and combined with
fresh dressing.
Stan's Grandmother Sofie came from a San Francisco German delicatessen
family, and she always made this salad for Thanksgiving and sometimes at
Christmas. Simplicity itself, it makes a refreshing counterpoint to all of
the rich dishes at a Holiday meal. Of course Grandma Sofie always chopped
the veggies painstakingly with her much-used chopping bowl and special
knife, and scorned the food processor as one of those "modern things that
mooshes everything all up"! Of course there is no discernable difference in
the salad made with the food processor, but we were all tactfully careful
not to point that out....... <G>
Excellent!
