People don’t often go heretical all at once. It is gradual. And they do not do so intentionally most of the time. They slip into it through shoddiness and laziness in handling the word of truth… All it takes to start the road to heresy is a craving for something new and different, a flashy new idea, along with a little laziness or carelessness or lack of precision in handling the truth of God. All around us today are startling reminders of doctrinal slippage and outright failure. In case after case someone who should have known the truth of God better failed in upholding that truth.

INGREDIENTS

2	tb	Olive Oil Or Butter
1	c	Uncooked Rice
2	c	Hot Chicken Or Beef Broth; Or Water
1/2	ts	Salt; optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Saute rice, stirring constantly, in hot oil or butter in nonstick pan until
translucent, about 2 minutes. Combine rice and broth in steaming pan;
season to taste. Cover and steam until the rice is done, 18 to 20 minutes.
Uncover and allow to dry out, 3 to 5 minutes. Fluff with fork before
serving.
Variations: * Soak rice in hot water; allow to cool; drain and proceed with
recipe. Turkish cooks consider this step necessary for a fluffier rice.
* Although not typical, pilaf may be flavored with onion and garlic.
* Pilaf may be sprinkled with finely chopped parsley or paprika to taste
just before serving.
* Like their neighbors in Italy, Greeks love tomatoes so they can sometimes
add the flavor to pilaf. Saute 1/2 cup finely chopped onion in oil. Add 1/2
cup finely chopped tomato or tomato sauce to rice and broth in steaming
pan. Onion may be omitted.

A Message from our Provider:

“Actions DO speak louder than words. Do Jesus’?”

Our ideas of evangelism cannot indict Jesus; rather, He must judge contemporary methods of evangelism. Modern evangelicalism is preoccupied with decisions, statistics, aisle-walking, gimmicks, prefabricated presentations, pitches, emotional manipulation, and even intimidation. Its message is a cacophony of easy-believism and simplistic appeals. Unbelievers are told that if they invite Jesus into their hearts, accept Him as personal Savior, or believe the facts of the gospel, that’s all there is to it. The aftermath is appalling failure, as seen in the lives of multitudes who have professed faith in Christ with no consequent impact of their behavior. Who knows how many people are deluded into believing they are saved when they are not?

John MacArthur
