But it is far more common for the evangelical preacher to edit God’s Word: 1. By removing the text from its context, and using it to say what-ever the preacher likes, 2. By moralizing the text, so that it is reduced to an ethical maxim that ﬁts any religion, 3. By using the text to promote hobby-horses, and 4. By dogmatic insistence that the text says things it does not truly say. This homiletical hocus-pocus has subtle roots such as the desire to be clever and popular or synthetically relevant or intellectually respectable or to make the gospel more acceptable. But most often God’s Word gets watered down by the preacher’s laziness. He simply will not do the hard work to engage and preach a text in its context.

INGREDIENTS

1		Turkey carcass
1/2	c	Short grain –or–
1/4	c	Long grain rice
8	c	Water
		Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Place turkey, rice and cold water in large soup pot. Bring to boil. Reduce
heat and simmer 3-4 hours. Stir often to prevent sticking. Remove turkey
and strip meat from bones. Return meat to pot. Serve in soup bowls. Add
chopped green onions and soy sauce if desired. This is a bland, thick soup
and a good way to use up the holiday turkey.
