Today, the pressure to fill auditoriums and services has driven many pastors to place the felt needs, or tastes, of the people above their duty to Christ. On every hand we hear of the Gospel being molded into a non-confrontative message intended to meet felt needs and impress the sinful heart. And, by most standards, this new philosophy of church life is working, as more and more auditoriums are filled with people hungry for a message that will affirm that they are actually on fairly good terms with the Almighty. But the biblical message is the message of the cross. It cuts right across the grain of the modern age's preoccupation with pride, tearing down the façade and exposing the wretchedness of the human heart… Unfortunately, while the modern “un-gospel” may fill seats, it is the true gospel of sin and grace that is “the power of God unto salvation” (Rom. 1:16).

INGREDIENTS

8	c	Homemade chicken broth
2	lg	Carrots, chopped
1		Stalk celery, chopped
2		Cloves garlic, peeled & crushed
1	ts	Salt
1 1/2	c	Fresh breadcrumbs
2/3	c	Grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish
1	ts	Freshly grated nutmeg
2	lg	Eggs
1	c	Chopped fresh parsley

INSTRUCTIONS

Pour chicken broth into a large pot and bring to a
boil.  Add carrots, celery, garlic and salt.  Reduce
the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs,
cheese and nutmeg.  Make a well in the center and add
eggs; mix until thoroughly combined.  The dough should
be damp but firm.  If necessary, incorporate
additional breadcrumbs or a few drops of water; if the
dough is too wet or too dry it will crumble.  To form
the passatelli, pinch off a piece of dough
and roll it about 1/4 inch thick, then break it into
1/2 inch lengths. Continue forming the rest of the
dough in the same manner.  Bring the broth back to a
boil, add the passatelli and parsley and cook for 5
minutes. Ladle
the soup into bowls, sprinkle with a little Parmesan
and serve.
