We Love God!

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

God is distinct from His creation. He isn’t a part of it; it isn’t a part of Him. He didn’t “arise” from it; it didn’t’ “arise” from Him. He spoke, and where nothing was before, it was.
J. Budziszewski

Important lessons are given by this alternation of the two ideas of faith and unbelief, obedience and disobedience. Disobedience is the root of unbelief. Unbelief is the mother of further disobedience. Faith is voluntary submission within a person's own power. If faith is not exercised, the true cause lies deeper than all intellectual reasons. It lies in the moral aversion of human will and in the pride of independence, which says, 'who is Lord over us? Why should we have to depend on Jesus Christ?' As faith is obedience and submission, so faith breeds obedience, but unbelief leads on to higher-handed rebellion. With dreadful reciprocity of influence, the less one trusts, the more he disobeys; the more he disobeys, the less he trusts.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb Dried Great Northern, navy, pea or other white beans
2 qt Chicken stock
1 ts Salt
1/3 c Olive oil
2 tb Chopped garlic
1/4 c Chopped fresh flatleaf parsley
2 tb Chopped fresh thyme
1/2 ts Dried red pepper flakes
1/4 c Fresh lemon juice

INSTRUCTIONS

Sort the beans to make sure they are free of stones or other debris. Rinse,
then cover with cold water, refrigerate, and soak overnight. The next day,
drain the beans, place them in a large pot, and cover with the stock. Bring
to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer the beans for 1 1/2 to 2 hours,
or until they are tender. Add 1 teaspoon of salt in the final 15 minutes of
cooking. The addition of salt earlier in the cooking process will result in
tough beans.
Remove the beans with a slotted spoon and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Add all the remaining seasoning and other ingredients to the warm beans in
the bowl and toss together. Adjust the salt and a dd freshly ground pepper
to taste. Serve warm or chilled.
