God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Toothaches and noisy neighbors and broken dishwashers are not “crosses.” The Bible would call these trials or “thorns.” Crosses are the pain and shame and persecution we face for being a loyal follower of Jesus Christ. Willingness to carry your cross stems from the self-denial and is the ultimate test of your loyalty to follow Him (see Luke 9:23).
The reality is that all expressions of sin flow out of dominant pride in the human heart. Pride then is the core corruption. Self-worship is what real fallenness is all about. Every other sin rises out of the soil of pride. Everything grows in the ground of pride. Pride is the damning sin that produces rebellion against God. Every kind of rebellion and all sin is lawlessness. All sin is rebellion against God, all of it produced by pride. Pride seeks to dethrone God. It seeks to un-god God. It seeks to strike a fatal blow at His sovereignty and His majesty and to replace God with self. Pride grips the sinner's heart.
Heat oil in large pot. Add leeks and onion; cook over moderately low heat,
stirring often, until softened - about 10 min. Sprinkle with fennel and
stir 30 seconds.
Add potatoes, broth, and water. Simmer 25 min, until soft. Add arugula and
cook about 10 min longer, or until stems are soft. Add salt, pepper and
liquor to taste.
Puree to rough or smooth texture, as you like. Adjust seasoning. Serve hot
or chilled, topped with yogurt and garnished with arugula slivers. As
watercress changes potato soup into something that doesn't taste quite like
any of the individual ingredients, so arugula transforms this traditional
soup base.
Flexible, the soup can be pureed to a chunky or a smooth texture, and
served hot, as a main dish, or chilled, as a first course.
