We Love God!

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

Unless we read the Word of God, we cannot be instructed by the Spirit, and unless we are instructed by the Spirit, we cannot become godly and effective servants. To put it another way, loving the Word, learning from the Word, and living out the Word are interlocked in God's plan for our spiritual growth.
David McKenna

No growing occurs, however, without the realization that we cannot progress in our faithfulness to God without the supernatural work of the Spirit. This acknowledgment keeps us from pride in our maturity, or from too hasty judgment of others’ spiritual condition. For instance, I can be tempted to take pride in my parenting by virtue of my children’s wonderful record of scholarship and conduct. However, I may learn upon my entry into heaven that the reason God so blessed me was that my faith was too weak to have persevered with the more troubled children of other Christian parents (whom I too frequently judge for the apparent failings). The challenges of raising a child are as much for the sanctification of the parents as they are for the benefit of the child. Perhaps this is the reason that childbearing and rearing come so early in our adult life cycle. Growing families are God’s pressure cooker to mature many of us quickly for the spiritual trials that he knows are ahead. Only the Spirit knows what is best for the spiritual nurture of each individual, and he matures us by means natural and supernatural that will be fully revealed to us only in glory. Our cause for rejoicing now, however, is faith that our union with Christ makes available to us the work of the Spirit that enables us to change.

INGREDIENTS

8 Chiles, or
8 Long, slender sweet
peppers or
4 Bell peppers
1 lb Rockfish or lingcod filet
1 T Minced garlic
1/2 t Salt
1 T Lemon juice
1/2 t Ground coriander seed
Freshly ground pepper to
taste
3 T Every day olive oil
1/2 c Loosely packed basil leaves
2 oz Orzo, rosmarino or other
rice-sized dry pasta
3 Garlic cloves, sliced
1 1/2 c Seeded, coarsely chopped
tomato
2 T Extra-virgin olive oil
Roast, peel and seed the

INSTRUCTIONS

Rinse the fish, pat dry and cut into pieces to fit comfortably inside
each pepper. Combine minced garlic and salt in a medium bowl and mash
to a paste with the back of a spoon.  Add the lemon juice, coriander,
pepper and 1 tablespoon olive oil and  stir to combine. Bruise 3 or 4
of the basil leaves and add them to  the marinade. Add the fish pieces,
toss gently to coat evenly, and  marinate for 1 to 2 hours.  Cook the
pasta until just done, drain, and rinse with cold water.  Warm the
peppers (loosely covered to prevent drying) and serving  plates in a
low oven.  Heat 2 skillets over medium-high heat, 1 for the fish
(nonstick if  possible) and 1 for the sauce. Remove the fish from its
marinade and  add it to the dry skillet.  Add the remaining 2
tablespoons olive oil to the other skillet, add  the sliced garlic and
cook until it begins to color.  Immediately add  the tomatoes and pasta
and toss to coat evenly. Add the basil leaves,  remove from the heat,
and season to taste.  Spread the contents evenly on the plates and lay
the peppers on top.  As the fish pieces are done, tuck them inside the
the peppers.  Drizzle or brush the tops of the peppers with the
extra-virgin oil  and serve.  Serves 4.  PER SERVING. 320 calories, 21
