INSTRUCTIONS

TOPPING
Saute onions & pepper in a little vegetable stock & water till tender
(about 8 mins). Add tomatoes, beans, salsa & corn. Add the spices and
simmer while you get the topping ready.
{Original recipe called for 3 or 4 tablespoons of oil and 1 whole egg in
the batter. I increased the milk slightly, added about 1/2 more teaspoon of
baking powder and used just the egg white}
Sift together dry ingredients. Beat egg white & milk. Stir into flour &
cornmeal mixture - don't overmix. Fold in the corn kernels, and spread
batter over bean mixture and bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
I serve this with plain yogurt {reduced fat, can't get fatfree around my
neck of the woods} & extra salsa on the side.

A Message from our Provider:

“If the church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has.”

It is not uncommon for Christians to claim that the saints of the Old Testament period experienced God’s Spirit in a fundamentally different manner from that of New Testament believers or modern Christians. Many have relied on specific idioms of the Old Testament to argue that the Holy Spirit only came upon people in the Old Testament but into people in the New Testament. Thus, the Holy Spirit was only bestowed temporarily, and then externally, to Old Testament believers as opposed to the permanent indwelling of the early church. Such preaching and teaching drives a wedge between the Testaments, placing too much emphasis on disunity rather than on mutual interdependence between the Old and New. This is an inadequate and incomplete understanding of the role of the Spirit in the Old Testament. Though the Spirit of God sometimes comes upon individuals in the Old Testament to empower for specific (and temporary) tasks, there can be no doubt that His role is also more extensive. He has an indwelling and transforming presence in the Old Testament believers as well and is described as the animating feature that effects spiritual renewal.
