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

It is an indictment on our pride to think as the created, we can question the Creator’s faithfulness. God is faithful – He’s shown it in the life of Jesus Christ and He declares it cover-to-cover in the Bible. A better question to ask is whether or not we are faithful to Him in tough times with words and actions of obedience that demonstrate it. Are we joyously and productively making the most of the trials with our faith in tact, feet on the narrow path pointed toward the Celestial City, overcoming temptations, eyes firmly fixed on Jesus Christ who is the “author and perfecter of faith” (Heb. 12:2)?

The Bible presupposes a love of self, a desire to experience pleasure and avoid pain, as inherent in the human makeup and as the ground of ethical imperatives. For example, loving ourselves is often used as a criterion in Scripture for the love of others (Mt. 19:19; Eph. 5:28). It is an assumed fact that we do love ourselves, and it is not evil to do so if it is done rightly… Thus Christianity, far from denigrating human worth, actually presupposes it in some of its fundamental teachings. Yet something has tragically blighted and twisted love of self into a gross perversion of God’s intent for His creatures. The fall of the human race into sin caused love of self to become mere selfishness. What was lost was a focus outside the self – that is, a love of God that gave it control and benevolence.

Aubergine Terrine With Tomato Coulis

January 27, 2023

CATEGORY	CUISINE	TAG	YIELD
		Campanile	4	Servings

INGREDIENTS

3		Aubergines, not too large.
1	kg	Tomatoes.
3	T	Olive oil.
1/2		Sachet ready-to-make aspic
		jelly.
2		Garlic cloves.
1		Sprig thyme.
4		Basil leaves.
		Salt, pepper.

INSTRUCTIONS

The day before: peel and chop the garlic. Wash the aubergines, wipe
dry, but do not peel. Cook on the oven rack for 15 minutes, turning
them often to prevent them burning, until they are soft and juicy.
Leave to cool before removing the skin.  2 Mash the pulp, add the olive
oil gradually, then add the garlic,  salt and pepper. Beat this puree
until the ingredients are completely  mixed.  3 Prepare the aspic.
Leave to cool. Pour the aubergine puree into a  terrine dish, then pour
in the aspic jelly. Put into the refrigerator.  4 The next day: wash
the basil leaves. Peel the tomatoes, remove the  seeds, chop roughly.
Cook over a low heat with the thyme and basil.  Season. When the
tomatoes have cooked down, remove the thyme and  basil, blend the
tomato puree, and chill. Serve the terrine with the  tomato coulis.
Campanile tip:  Put the tomatoes in boiling water for 20-30 seconds,
then into very  cold water - this makes them very easy to peel.
