We Love God!

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

The truth is that, though we were justified by faith alone, the faith that justifies is never alone [it always produces fruit, 'good works,'…a transformed life].
J.I. Packer

Christian Hedonism is a philosophy of life built on the following five convictions: 1. The longing to be happy is a universal human experience, and it is good, not sinful. 2. We should never try to deny or resist our longings to be happy, as though it were a bad impulse. Instead we should seek to intensify this longing and nourish it with whatever will provide the deepest and most enduring satisfaction. 3. The deepest and most enduring happiness is found only in God. Not from God, but in God. 4. The happiness we find in God reaches its consummation when it is shared with others in the manifold ways of love. 5. To the extent we try to abandon the pursuit of our own pleasure, we fail to honor God and love people. Or, to put it positively: the pursuit of pleasure is a necessary part of all worship and virtue. That is, the chief end of man is to glorify God BY enjoying Him forever.

INGREDIENTS

4 8-inch flour tortilla
1 lb Ground raw chicken
1 ts Chili powder
1 Bottle; (8 oz.) medium or hot salsa
1 cn (15 oz.) black beans or pinto beans
2 tb Diced pimiento
1 c Chopped lettuce
1/4 c Thinly sliced radishes
1/4 c Cheddar cheese
1 cn (2 1/4 oz.) sliced pitted ripe olives
Dairy sour cream; optional
2 tb Thinly sliced green onions
Avocado slices; optional

INSTRUCTIONS

For tostado shells, place tortillas in a single layer directly on the
middle oven rack. Bake in a 350 oven about 6 minutes, turning halfway
through baking time, or till golden and crisp. (If tortillas bubble during
baking, puncture the bubble with a fork.) Set aside and cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, in a 10 inch skillet cook and stir chicken and chili powder over
medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or till chicken is no longer pink. Stir in
salsa. Set aside; keep warm.
Drain beans, reserving liquid. In a small saucepan stir beans over low heat
till heated through. With a potato masher or fork, mash beans adding enough
reserved bean liquid to make spreadable consitency. Heat through.
To assemble, place a warm tortilla on each dinner plate. Spread with a thin
layer of beans. Top with beans with some of the chicken mixture, pimiento,
lettuce, radishes, cheese, olives, sour cream (if desired), and green
onion. Garnish with avocado, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
