What does God have to say about the impact of all this debt on His people? He tells us in Proverbs 22:7b” “The borrower becomes the lender’s slave.” Debt makes you a slave to your lender. In the Old Testament world if you couldn’t pay your debt on time you became the slave of the lender until you worked off your obligations. In our day, if you borrow money you become the lender’s slave by giving much or most of your income back to the lender.

INSTRUCTIONS

This recipe is an old tradition in Germany. The sauce combines sweet, sour,
and spicy flavors. In Germany, fresh carp is used, but since it is hard to
find in the U.S. other fish may be substituted.
Remove head from fish and reserve for making fish stock for other recipes.
Lay fish out as flat as possible, breaking bones along back. Melt butter in
a skillet. Add onion, celery, salt, peppercorns and cloves and mix. Top
with lemon slices and bay leaf. Place fish on top. Add beer. Cover and
simmer 15-20 minutes, or just until fish flakes with fork. Transfer fish to
a platter, cover with foil to keep warm. Strain cooking liquid, pressing
some of the vegetables through. Put gingersnaps and sugar in s killet, stir
in 1-1/2 cups strained liquid. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Garnish fish with parsley. Pass sauce for pouring over fish and boiled
potatoes as side dish. Makes 4-6 servings. From the files of Al Rice, North
Pole Alaska. Feb 1994
