We Love God!

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

But it is far more common for the evangelical preacher to edit God’s Word: 1. By removing the text from its context, and using it to say what-ever the preacher likes, 2. By moralizing the text, so that it is reduced to an ethical maxim that ﬁts any religion, 3. By using the text to promote hobby-horses, and 4. By dogmatic insistence that the text says things it does not truly say. This homiletical hocus-pocus has subtle roots such as the desire to be clever and popular or synthetically relevant or intellectually respectable or to make the gospel more acceptable. But most often God’s Word gets watered down by the preacher’s laziness. He simply will not do the hard work to engage and preach a text in its context.

Meats, Grains		Lamb, Main dishes	4	Servings

INGREDIENTS

		Heart, Liver And Kidneys Of
		Spring Lamb
4	T	Olive Oil
1	lb	Spring Onions, finely
		Chopped
1/2	c	Fresh Parsley Mixed With
		Dill, finely chopped
		Salt And Pepper
1/2	c	Walnuts, finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

Pierce the liver with a knife, cut open the heart and fry them
together in a little hot oil for a few minutes.  Pass them with the
kidneys through a coarse grinder.  In Greece we would also use the
lungs - but in NY it is against the health code to sell them.  Heat 4
tablespoons olive oil in a heavy frying pan and saute the  onions until
transparent.  Add the meat, dill parsley, and salt and  pepper. Stir in
well and saute gently for 15 minutes. Add a little  water to moisten
and cook until the meat is tender. Remove from the  heat and sprinkle
with chopped walnuts. Serve warm or cold.  Serves 4-6.  NOTES: A
traditional Sephardic recipe.  This fufills the injunction in the
Torah:  And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire and
unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Eat not of  raw,
nor sodden at with water, but roast with fire; its head with its  legs
and all of the innards thereof. And ye shall leave none of it
remaining until morning.  Exodus XII 8-11  My guests did well - except
for the head.  Recipe By     : susan nehama <EHNGC@CUNYVM.BITNET>  File
