We Love God!

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

Our local deity is not Jesus. He goes by the name Jesus. But in reality, our local deity is Jesus Jr. Our little Jesus is popular because he is useful. He makes us feel better while conveniently fitting into the margins of our busy lives. But he is not terrifying or compelling or thrilling. When we hear the gospel of Jesus Jr., our casual response is “Yeah, that’s what I believe.” Jesus Jr. does not confront us, surprise us, stun us. He looks down on us with a benign, all-approving grin. He tells us how wonderful we really are, how entitled we really are, how wounded we really are, and it feels good. Jesus Jr. appeals to the flesh. He does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him. He is not able to understand them, much less impart them, because Jesus Jr. is the magnification of Self, the idealization of Self, the absolutization of Self turning around and validating Self, flattering Self, reinforcing Self. Jesus Jr. does not change us, because he is a projection of us.

INGREDIENTS

1 cn (28 Oz) crushed plum tomatoes
2 ts Tomato paste
2 Cloves garlic; crushed
1 sm Or 1/2 med. onion; chopped
1 ts Fresh basil; (or 1 tsp. dried)
1/4 ts Salt; Black Pepper, Sugar, Dried Oregano, And Red Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix together. Sometimes I sauté the garlic and onions in a little olive oil
first. It depends upon what else I'm putting on the pizza.I sauté them if
the toppings are more mild, and I don't if the toppings are more
aggressive. Basically, whatever you like. Just as an extra, my favorite
topping combination is spinach, with red bell peppers, fresh mushrooms, and
feta cheese. The contrast in color is also beautiful. Laura
NOTES : I use it for both thick and thin pizza.  You can make it extra
thick by adding more tomato paste. Also, I only use the really good tomato
paste that you buy in a tube.  The tube paste also saves much better, and I
can definitely taste the difference
