We must never forget that even in heaven only God is immutable or unchanging. We are ever subject to greater transformation and improvement. But it is always a change from one stage of glory and knowledge and holiness to the next higher stage of glory and knowledge and holiness. It is one thing to be free of imperfection, but another to experience perfection perfectly. We will be perfect in heaven from the first moment we arrive in that we will be free from defect, free from sin, free from moral corruption and selfishness. But that perfection is finite, because we are finite. It is always subject to expansion. There is change, but always for the better!

INGREDIENTS

1/2	lb	Orzo
6	lg	Tomatoes; firm, ripe
		Granulated sugar
1	ts	Salt
		Black pepper
1/2	ts	Dried oregano; rubbed
1/2	c	Mozzarella cheese; cubed
1	tb	Butter
1	md	Onion; finely chopped
1	qt	Chicken broth; packed
4	tb	Parmesan cheese; freshly grated

INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the center pulp and seeds from the tomatoes, hollowing them out
well. Lightly sprinkle into each tomato a little sugar, salt, pepper and
oregano; place four cubes of mozzarella in each tomato.
Preheat oven to 400-degrees.
Melt the butter in a saucepan and saute the onion in it until soft; stir in
the orzo, stirring well so each grain of pasta is coated. Pour in 2 cups of
the chicken broth, stir well, and simmer until it is absorbed, adding more
broth gradually until the orzo is about three quarters cooked; firmer than
al dente (I cooked mine longer--don't like pasta that firm). Taste it as
you go and cook until it's as firm as you like. Blend in the Parmesan,
stirring it in well.
Spoon the orzo mixture into the hollowed tomatoes, filling them. Place the
filled tomatoes in a casserole or baking dish with 1/2 cup of hot broth in
the bottom of the dish.
Bake, covered, for 15 minutes; remove the cover and cook an additional 10
minutes.

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus is faithful. Who can you trust so fully?”

Systematic theology is theology that is systematic. It is less narrative, less story, less organic, all key terms in our postmodern age. It is the study of the things of God in a systematic, orderly fashion, where we not only consider what this text says and that text, but where we consider all that the Word says about revelation, then all the Word tells us about who God is, then all that the Word tells us about who Jesus is, and then all that He has done for us. Systematic theology then goes on to consider the doctrine of man, of sin, of sanctification, of the sacraments, the church and the end times. Systematic theology is a way of looking at God’s revelation that strongly affirms the coherency and consistency of all that God reveals. It is an attempt to put all texts in their ultimate context—all other texts.
