We are not encouraged to forsake our sin by having our senses amused or our preferences coddled. The Gospel is inherently and irreducibly confrontational. It cuts against our perceived righteousness and self-sufficiency, demanding that we forsake cherished sin and trust in someone else to justify us. Entertainment is therefore a problematic medium for communicating the Gospel, because it nearly always obscures the most difficult aspects of it – the cost of repentance, the cross of discipleship, the narrowness of the Way. Some will disagree, arguing that drama can give unbelievers a helpful visual image of the Gospel. But we have already been given such visual images. They are the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper and the transformed lives of our Christian brothers and sisters (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).

Here's one I use all the time from my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook:
Cut off the tops of 6 medium green eppers; remove seeds and membrane.
Precook green pepper cups in boiling salted water about 5 minutes; drain.
(For crisp peppers, omit precooking). Sprinkle inside of cups generously
with salt.

browned. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and dash pepper. Add one 1-pound can
tomatoes, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice, and 1 teaspoon
Worchestire sauce. Cover and simmer til rice is tender, about 15 minutes.

peppers; stand upright in 10x6x1-1/2 inch baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at
350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Serves 6.
