To love this God means, among many other things, that we will be hungry to get to know Him better; conversely, in learning His words and ways, His attributes and His glory, what He loves and what He hates, we will find that our understanding of what it means to love God, what it means to love enemies, what it means to love brothers and sisters in Christ, will all be progressively modified and enriched. Precisely because, as created, dependent, and redeemed creatures, we are called to love our Creator, our Sovereign, our Redeemer with heart and soul and strength and mind, we will be firmly led to think robustly about what He is like, how He views evil, what rights and responsibilities He gives to the state in a fallen world, His role both in making peace and in judgment, and, above all, His commitment to His own glory as God.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook and drain noodles according to package directions (or see note).
While noodles are cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over
medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic in oil, stirring frequently,
until onion is tender. Stir in water, cilantro, beans, tomatoes, and
tomato paste, and reduce heat. Simmer uncovered about 15 minutes,
stirring occasionally.
In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients except Monterey Jack
cheese. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Layer one-third each of the noodles, bean mixture, ricotta mixture,
and then Monterey Jack cheese in a rectangular 13x9x2" baking dish.
Repeat layers twice. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until hot and
bubbly. Let stand 10-15 minutes before serving.
NOTES : *Ronzoni makes "oven ready" lasagna noodles that do not have
to be precooked (they cook with the prepared lasagna while baking).
I have used them with success.

A Message from our Provider:

“When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God. #Henry Blackaby”
