We need accountability. Left to our own devices, we will soon devise or succumb to all kinds of evil. As Christians we know that we need other believers to hold us accountable to the standards of Scripture. Passages such as Ecclesiastes 4:12 remind us that “a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” The Bible tells us that “iron sharpens iron” (Prov. 27:17) and that we are to “stir up one another to love and good works…encouraging one another” (Heb. 10:24-25). Life is far too difficult and we are far too sinful to live in solitude. We need community. We need accountability. And God has anticipated our need by giving us the local church as the primary means of this accountability.

I have not made any of these recipes.  I got them from the Food TV web
site. Has anyone gone into it (http://www.foodtv.com)? It's great -- you
see them making the stuff on TV and then you go into the web site to pull
the recipes. I pulled these because I love black beans and refried beans,
but had never had black refried beans. Hope they come out ok.
In food processor with a metal blade place beans. Process 2 - 3 minutes,
until fairly smooth. Add sour cream and cumin if desired, and mix another
minute to blend. Stir in salsa fresca (follows) until just combined. Serve.
