There is a kind of cavalier attitude toward our security today. There is little trembling. Little vigilance and earnestness and caution and watchfulness over our souls. There is a kind of casual, slack, careless attitude toward the possibility that we might make shipwreck of our faith and fail to lay hold on eternal life. We have the notion that security is a kind of mechanical, automatic thing. We prayed once to receive Jesus. We are safe and there is no place for 'working out your salvation with fear and trembling' (Philippians 2:12).

INSTRUCTIONS

MARINADE
PEANUT SAUCE
To make the marinade, combine the first 7 ingredients in a shallow dish.
Thread the chicken strips onto bamboo skewers in a serpentine fashion.
Place the skewers into the soy sauce mixture and let marinate in the
refrigerator at least 2 hours, although overnight is preferable. Make the
peanut sauce by combining the next 7 ingredients (peanut butter through
garlic) in a saucepan.  Season to taste with cayenne pepper. Cook over
moderate heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is as thick as heavy
cream (about 15 minutes).  Transfer to a food processor or blender and
pur=82e briefly.  Add chicken broth and cream and blend until smooth. This
mixture can be made several hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
Bring to room temperature before serving. Prepare moderate-hot charcoal
coals or preheat a broiler. Cook the skewered chicken, turning several
times and basting with the marinade, until crispy on the outside but still
moist on the inside, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle grilled chicken with lime
zest and garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve with the peanut sauce for
dipping.

A Message from our Provider:

“Questioning God? He made the brain cells you think with”

As we become soft and lazy in our bodies, we tend to become soft and lazy spiritually. When Paul talked about making his body his slave, so that after having preached to others he himself would not be disqualified, he was not thinking about physical disqualification, but spiritual. He knew well that physical softness inevitably leads to spiritual softness. When the body is pampered and indulged, the instincts and passions of the body tend to get the upper hand and dominate our thoughts and actions. We tend to do not what we should do, but what we want to do, as we follow the craving of our sinful nature.
