Sour And Hot Soup – We Love God!

If you have been truly born again you have a new and holy nature, and you are no longer moved towards sinful objects as you were before. The things that you once loved you now hate, and therefore you will not run after them. You can hardly understand it but so it is, that your thoughts and tastes are radically changed. You long for that very holiness which once it was irksome to hear of; and you loathe those vain pursuits which were once your delights. The man who puts his trust in the Lord sees the pleasures of sin in a new light. For he sees the evil which follows them by noting the agonies which they brought upon our Lord when He bore our sins in His own body on the tree. Without faith a man says to himself, 'This sin is a very pleasant thing, why should I not enjoy it? Surely I may eat this fruit, which looks so charming and is so much to be desired.' The flesh sees honey in the drink, but faith at once perceives that there is poison in the cup. Faith spies the snake in the grass and gives warning of it. Faith remembers death, judgment, the great reward, the just punishment and that dread word, eternity.

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

(from Recipes For A Small Planet by Ellen Ewald  Note by author: If you
prefer a soupier soup, serve the grain on the  side with fresh steamed
vegetables.  1, To grate the tofu, use the coarse side of a cheese
grater; grate  the tofu as you would grate cheese.  2, Bring the stock,
soy sauce, and vinegar to a boil; stir in the  tofu, mushrooms, water
chestnuts, salt and pepper.  3. Bring to a second boil; then pour in
the cornstarch mixture. Stir  until the soup thickens slightly.  4.
Simmer the soup as you slowly pour in the egg substitute, stirring
contantly for egg drops.  5. To serve: dish up some of the grain into
the soup bowls, pour a  serving of soup over the grain, sprinkle with
scallons; and you're  ready to serve. Enjoy!  1 portion equals approx.
l7 grams of usable protein which is 15% to  19% of dailyprotein need.
