Explain the Gospel as perfectly as possible and they sadly just do not see it. The problem is not necessarily the presenter. The problem is definitely not the Gospel! Paul says in 2 Corinthians 4:4 that the Gospel is “the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” That’s impressive, as good as it gets! But because of the spiritual blindness of the individual (2 Cor. 4:3-4), unable to see the Gospel’s greatness, there is simply no desire without God’s enabling power. And add to the blindness, a spiritually dead heart (Eph. 2:1), and there is absolutely no way a person on his or her own will ever desire Jesus Christ. In other words, people are not blinded because they chose to renounce the Gospel. Rather people renounce the Gospel because they are blinded by the evil one.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat grill or broiler.
Remove gills from fish and brush with oil. Season with salt and
pepper and place on grill. Fish should cook about 4 to 5 minutes per
side, so you can do the following steps while they cook.
Place 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Remove fennel fronds and
set aside. Cut stalks off fennel and cut fennel in half and then into
1/4-inch batonette pieces. Add 3 tablespoons oil to hot pan and toss
in fennel. Cook fennel until lightly browned and wilted (about 4
minutes) and set aside.
Remove zest from tangerines and then slice off peel. Place zest and
segments into mixing bowl and toss in warm cooked fennel, 1/3 cup
extra-virgin olive oil, olives and fennel fronds. Season with salt and
pepper and divide among 4 plates. Place one cooked fish on each plate
and serve immediately.
This recipe yields 4 antipasto servings.

A Message from our Provider:

“We simply prepare ourselves. God fills us.”

God arrived at Calvary - not in light, but in darkness. He showed up to unleash judgment, not in the eschatological sense in the future against the ungodly, but in the soteriological sense against the godly One. What is really going on at Calvary, folks – and this is where you go deeper with the understanding of it – it’s beyond the physical suffering, it’s beyond the sacrifice of Christ. What’s happening here is divine wrath is being poured out in its final form. Eternal wrath is about to be released and the darkness is everywhere. You could say it another way. God brought hell to Jerusalem that day.

John MacArthur
