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

Thom Rainer did a study a number of years ago asking formerly unchurched people the open-ended question, “What factors led you to choose this church?” A lot of surveys had been done asking the unchurched what they would like in a church. But this study asked the formerly unchurched why they actually were now in a church. The results were surprising: 11 percent said worship style led them to their church, 25 percent said children’s/youth ministry, and 37 percent said they sensed God’s presence at their church. For 41 percent, someone from the church had witnessed to them, and 49 percent mentioned friendliness as the reason for choosing their church. Can you guess the top two responses? Doctrine and preaching – 88 percent said the doctrine led them to their church, and 90 percent said the preaching led them there, in particular, a pastor who preached with certitude and conviction… When it comes to reaching outsiders, bold, deep, biblical preaching is not the problem. It’s part of the solution.

INGREDIENTS

Stephen Ceideburg
1 bn Collard greens, washed
1 c Water
1 lg Tomato, cored, chopped
5 Green onions, sliced (green and white part)
3 tb Natural smooth peanut butter
Salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

The greens used in his homeland aren't available here, but Reneth Mano
finds collard greens an excellent substitute.
Finely shred the greens, discarding tough stems. Place in a saucepan with
the water. Bring to boil and cook, stirring occasionally, just until greens
are crunchy-tender (don't overcook). Drain greens, reserving liquid. Return
greens to medium heat; add tomato and onions. Heat through, stirring
frequently.
Thin peanut butter with 3/4 cup of the reserved cooking liquid, then add to
vegetables. Heat, stirring constantly, until greens have a creamy
consistency, adding more reserved liquid if mixture seems too thick. Taste,
and add salt if needed.
Serves 4.
