God did not rescue Paul in Asia (2 Cor. 1:8-11) or spare Epaphroditus from death (Phil. 1:27) in order to encourage others to seek a miraculous deliverance from affliction. Rather, these acts of deliverance were intended to encourage Paul and the rest of God's people to endure suffering in their own lives as a profound testimony of God's sufficiency (2 Cor. 1:6; 4:7-12; Phil. 4:6). This side of Christ's return, God does not reveal His power and love in our lives primarily by performing miracles but by enabling us to persevere in the midst of adversity because of our trust in Him. God rescued Paul in the past to teach him to trust God for his future, in order that he might endure in the present.

INGREDIENTS

		Jim Vorheis
1/2	lb	(about 1 large) tomatoes, broiled
2		Garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
2		Canned chipotles en escabeche or en vinagre
3/4	lb	Chicken livers
3	tb	Melted chicken fat or safflower oil
1/2	md	Onion, thinly sliced
		Sea salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Put the unpeeled tomatoes, garlic, and chilies into a blender jar and blend
until almost smooth; there should be a little texture to the sauce. Set
aside.
Trim the livers of any connective tissue and any greenish spots from the
bile duct; cut each one into six parts.  Heat the fat in a frying pan, add
the liver pieces and onion, sprinkle lightly with salt, and fry, tossing
them almost constantly - a stir-fry if you will- for about 3 minutes over
high heat.  Add the blended ingredients and, still over high heat, cook for
about 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and seasoned. Adjust
seasoning.
