God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the law. The law is the needle, and you cannot draw the silken thread of the gospel through a man's heart unless you first send the needle of the law to make way for it. If men do not understand the law, they will not feel that they are sinners. And if they are not consciously sinners, they will never value the sin offering. There is no healing a man till the law has wounded him, no making him alive till the law has slain him.
Just as there are no ultimate tragedies for the believer, so for the impenitent unbeliever there are no ultimate blessings. Every good gift God bestows upon the wicked, for which the wicked do not glorify God or acknowledge His goodness with gratitude and worship, becomes a tragedy. The more gifts God gives that are despised by the recipient, the more guilt is incurred, so that, to the wicked, on Judgment Day the gifts of God’s kindness become tragedies.
1. Mix crushed garlic to taste with the oil and set aside.
2. Stand the asparagus spears upright in a tall pan of boiling water (the
tips should not be submerged), cover and cook for 8-10 minutes or until
tender. Lift the asparagus carefully into a colander to drain.
3. Arrange the asparagus on warm plates and spoon the garlic oil over the
tips.
4. Sprinkle with Parmesan and lemon juice, and serve immediately with warm
crusty bread to mop up all the juices.
(PER SERVING: 172 cals, 17g fat)
Notes: When asparagus is in season, make the most of it and try this
unusual way of serving it, with garlic-flavoured oil, lemon juice and
freshly grated Parmesan.
