God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
There is a common, worldly kind of Christianity in this day, which many have, and think they have enough – a cheap Christianity which offends nobody, and requires no sacrifice – which costs nothing, and is worth nothing.
When we speak of assurance, we are speaking of that which we know because the evidence is clear. This is the heart of First John and the other passages dealing with this subject. The way to tell if you are a Christian is not to look at the sincerity of a decision, but to look at the change in the life. As far as I can tell, there is no teaching in the Word which says that you can be sure that you are a Christian by looking back at an historical conversion experience. “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life...” (1 Jn. 5:13, emphasis mine). What things? Those tests which make up the content of the epistle. In other words, one’s assurance should be based on discernible factors which can be tested.
CHILE-LIME VINAIGRETTE
Snap off the chile stems, then roast the poblanos over a gas flame or under
a broiler until the skins are lightly charred all over. Place the poblanos
in a paper or plastic bag, cover, and let them steam for 15 to 20 minutes.
Peel away the skin, and seed. Dice the peppers, then combine in a large
bowl with the black beans, corn, watercress, tomato, and scallions. In a
small bowl, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients. Pour over the salad
and toss to coat. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Note: You may substitute two 8-ounce cans black beans. Be sure to rinse and
drain them.
