First, faith believes God when He says that sexual relations in marriage are good and clean and should be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. Second, faith increases the joy of sexual relations in marriage because it frees us from the guilt of the past. Faith believes the promise that Christ died for all our sins, that in Him we might have guilt-free, Christ-exalting sexual relations in marriage. And finally, faith wields the weapon of sexual intercourse against Satan. A married couple gives a severe blow to the head of that ancient serpent when they aim to give as much sexual satisfaction to each other as possible. Is it not a mark of amazing grace that on top of all the pleasure that the sexual side of marriage brings, it also proves to be a fearsome weapon against our ancient foe?... It is not surprising then that Satan’s defeat, Christ’s glory, and our pleasure should come together in this undefiled marriage bed.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Add the
diced chicken, corn, tomatoes, green bell pepper, garlic, basil, and
scallions and gently stir to coat and combine. Season with salt,
black pepper and cayenne. Peel the avocados and halve them
lengthwise, discarding the pits. Cut off a 1/4-inch slice from the
rounded side of each avocado half so that they can sit flat and not
roll over when stuffed. Rub the avocados well with the cut sides of
the lemons. Add the mesclun to the reserved vinaigrette, season with
salt and pepper and toss to combine. Arrange 1 1/2 cups of greens on
each serving plate. Position a avocado half in center of greens.
Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the avocado halves. Serve
