I initially examined Christianity in order to write a book making a mockery of it… After extensive research, however, I discovered that Christianity is not a religion of men and women working their way to God through 'good works.' Nor is it obedience to a pattern of religious ritual. Rather, it is a relationship with a living God through His Son Jesus Christ. To my amazement, I was confronted with a person, not a religion. Here was a person who made staggering claims about Himself, along with profound claims on my life. Jesus was so different from what I had expected. Other religious leaders put their teachings out in front. Jesus put Himself out in front. Others would ask, 'How are you responding to my teachings?' Jesus asked, 'How are you related to Me?' (Josh McDowell and Bart Larson).

INGREDIENTS

1/2	c	Lo salt soy sauce
1 1/4	ts	Onion powder
1/3	c	Worcestershire Sauce
1 1/4	ts	Garlic powder
2 1/3	ts	Pepper
2	tb	Brown sugar

		Liquid mesquite smoke *
		* use in place of smoker.

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix all ingredients except beef to make marinade.  Cut thinly sliced beef
into 1/2 inch strips and marinate for 8 to 12 hours. Smoke using mesquite
chips for about three hours and then finish drying in oven. If doing whole
operation in oven use liquid smoke and hang strips of beef on highest rack
and put shallow pan underneath to catch drippings. Turn oven on and set to
lowest possible setting and leave for 6 to 8 hours until thoroughly dried.
A couple of hints that I picked up from one of the cooking echoes. Use
toothpicks or wooden skewers to hang meat by, and put a couple of layers of
paper towels in the pan to collect the drippings and save cleaning problems
later on.

A Message from our Provider:

“When God ordains, He sustains.”

Reconciliation…always portrays God as the reconciler and sinners as the ones reconciled, since it was human sin that ruptured the relationship between God and man (cf. Isa. 59:2)… Thus, reconciliation is not something man does but what he receives; it is not what he accomplishes but what he embraces. Reconciliation does not happen when man decides to stop rejecting God but when God decides to stop rejecting man. It is a divine provision by which God’s holy displeasure against alienated sinners is appeased, His hostility against them removed, and a harmonious relationship between Him and them established. Reconciliation occurs because God was graciously willing to design a way to have all the sins of those who are His removed from them “as far as the east is from the west” (Psm. 103:12), “cast all their sins into the depths of the sea” (Mic. 7:19), and “cast all [their] sins behind [His] back” (Isa. 38:17).
