We Love God!

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

Holiness begins in our minds and works out to our actions. That being true, what we allow to enter our minds is critically important. The television programs we watch, the movies we may attend, the books and magazines we read, the music we listen to, and the conversations we have all affect our minds. We need to evaluate the effects of these avenues honestly, using Philippians 4:8 as a standard. Are the thought stimulated by these various avenues true? Are they pure? Lovely? Admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy?

Crucifixion was never a private event. It was always raw, and searingly public, because its purpose was to terrify the masses into submission to the authorities. Crosses often lined the main roads into cities, holding the broken writhing bodies of the condemned, or displaying the rotting corpses of the dead. The Romans even scheduled public crucifixions to coincide with religious festivals, insuring the maximum number of people present to witness the horror. Murderers, robbers, traitors, and slaves were crucified, brutally, by the thousands all over the empire and always deliberately in full public view. The horror of the cross was inescapable, and the Romans intended it to be that way.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb Ripe plum tomatoes; peeled and chopped
; (4)
2 tb Sugar
3/4 c Red wine vinegar
1 Garlic clove; minced
1 Cinnamon stick
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lb Tuna steak
1/4 c Mayonnaise
2 Ripe Haas avocados
1/4 c Lemon juice
2 tb Olive oil
1/2 c Finely chopped fresh cilantro
8 Red pepper strips; 2 inches long and
; 1/4-inch wide
8 Thin slices unpeeled apple; for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

TO MAKE THE TOMATO MARMALADE: In a non-reactive 9-inch skillet bring the
tomatoes, sugar, red wine vinegar, garlic, and cinnamon stick to a hard
boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or
until almost all the liquid has evaporated. About 1/2 cup will remain and
the mixture will look syrupy. Discard the cinnamon stick, season to taste
with salt and pepper and cool to room temperature.
TO MAKE THE TUNA: In a broiler or stove-top grill, over high heat, cook the
tuna for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until charred on both sides, depending
on the thickness of the tuna and the degree of doneness you prefer. Remove
and cool completely. When completely cool, cut into 1/4-inch dice, combine
with the mayonnaise and season with salt and pepper to taste.
TO MAKE THE AVOCADO LAYER: Right before serving, peel, pit, and cut the
avocados into 1/4-inch dice. Combine the dice with the lemon juice, olive
oil, cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.
TO ASSEMBLE THE COCKTAIL: Layer the ingredients in eight martini or 6-ounce
wine glasses beginning with the tuna layer in the bottom of the glass,
followed by 1 tablespoon of the tomato marmalade and topped with the
avocado on top. In each glass stick a thin strip of red pepper in the
center of the cocktail. Take a very thin apple slice, core the side of the
slice, make a small incision in the center and place the slice on the edge
of the glass for garnish.
