God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
How can Satan in a subtle way get people to disregard the truth on Sunday morning? How about getting people to think the sermon is entertainment or sitting through an entire sermon for a need to uphold a religious duty? Yeah, nothing about coming prepared to hear God’s Word. According to Satan - I’ll keep them out late on Saturday night. I’ll distract them with Sunday afternoon plans. I’ll have them put way more time into looking good physically than preparing their hearts spiritually before coming to church. I’ll have them arrive late so they can miss the singing to prepare their hearts to receive the truth and then distract others trying to worship when they stroll in. I’ll get them to believe the message is more intended for someone else. I’ll get them to listen for the 1% they disagree with as compared to the 99% they need to know. I’ll convince them that applying what they just heard is optional. And then I’ll get them to forget about what they heard before they even reach their cars.

Dried small; red peppers, (up to 4)

Sugar; optional, (up to 2)
INSTRUCTIONS
Tear off thick stems and place greens in the sink. Cover with water.
Sprinkle a small amount of salt over greens and stir. Allow water to settle
a few minutes. Carefully lift out greens and place in a colander or large
bowl. (If you have a double sink, the other side works great.)
Rinse out sink to eliminate any grit that may have dropped from greens.
Return greens to sink and cover with water again. Allow any remaining grit
to settle and unplug drain so that water runs out.
Tear large leaves into pieces and place in a large stockpot, Dutch oven or
saucepan with a lid. Without shaking off too much water, add greens to pan,
along with whole, dried red peppers.
It may be difficult to get all the greens in the pan, but cram them in.
Cover pan with lid and place over medium heat. Cook just until leaves wilt
and greens fit easily into pan.
Add just enough water or chicken stock to almost cover greens. If desired,
add salt pork. Bring liquid to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until greens
are tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in sugar during last 10 minutes of
cooking.
Makes 10 servings.
