God’s Holy Spirit creates His people by His Word. We can create a people by other means, and this is the great temptation of churches. We can create a people around a certain ethnicity. We can create a people around a fully-graded choir program. We can find people who will get excited about a building project or a denominational identity. We can create a people around a series of care groups, where each feels loved and cared for. We can create a people around a community service project. We can create a people around social opportunities for young mothers or Caribbean cruises for singles. We can create a people around men’s groups. We can even create a people around the personality of a preacher. And God can surely use all of these things. But in the final analysis the people of God, the church of God, can only be created around the Word of God.
Cook and stir the meat, onion and the garlic in a Dutch oven until the
meat is brown. Drain off the excess fat. Stir in the undrained
mushrooms, and the remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling then reduce the
heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are
tender, about 40 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and serve.
