We Love God!

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

Underlying causes of legalism: 1. Humanistic concept of self-control – “I’m in control of how things go.” 2. Humanistic concept of self-effort, “works” – trying, striving, “I can do it.” 3. False security needs for defined parameters, limitations, borders 4. Work-ethic concept of strict reciprocity – “Get what you work for” 5. Punitive concept of getting what one deserves 6. Traditionalism of maintaining status quo 7. Simplism of dividing life into compartments with instant solutions; fundamentalism. Got a handle on it – all figured out. Instant solutions – don't have to think or trust. 8. Fear of freedom, of decision-making responsibility (Rom. 8:15) 9. Security need for something that is fixed and static, concrete and tangible. Inordinate need to be safe and right 10. Favorite of sadomasochistic personalities; perfectionists, Pharisees.
James Fowler

Legalism…does not describe the attitude of a Christian who earnestly seeks to please God, but uses the law as a means to that end. A sincere desire to please God is not legalism. Nor does it cause legalism. Legalism results from the actual misuse of the law. Nor does legalism in any sense diminish the goodness of the law. There is nothing wrong with God’s holy law. Woe to the person who disparages the holy law that God wrote on stone with His finger.

INGREDIENTS

1/4 c Olive oil
4 Kip filets; 1 to 1-1/3 lbs
4 Cloves garlic; minced
1 lg Spanish onion; chopped
2 Stalks celery; finely chopped
1 cn Low-sodium chicken broth
2 cn Cannelini beans
1 tb Chili powder; *
1 tb Cumin
1/2 ts White pepper
Salt; to taste
1 bn Cilantro; finely chopped
1 1/2 c Sour cream; **
2 ts Cumin
1 pn Allspice
1/2 bn Scallions; finely chopped
Tabasco sauce; to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

* Chili powder was not in original recipe, but we thought it was needed.
** I think just 1/2 cup might be enough of this.
Cut the chicken in cubes, just slightly larger than the size of the beans.
Heat oil and garlic over medium flame until garlic speaks. Add cubed
chicken and saute 5 min until chicken is almost cooked through. Add celery
and onion and saute an additional 6-10 min or until onion becomes
translucent. Add broth and beans. Stir in chili powder, 1T cumin, white
pepper, salt, and half of the chopped cilantro. Bring to a boil, reduce
heat and simmer, uncovered, on low.
In a food processor or blender, combine remaining cilantro, 2 tsp cumin,
allspice, sour cream and chopped green onions. Blend. Sour cream will turn
a light green color. Server chili up in bowls and garnish with a dollop of
the sour cream mixture and a little extra slivered green onion. Pass
tortilla chips for dipping. [We sliced corn tortillas into strips and added
those to the chili.]
