Aggravating all of these areas (of legalism) is a class of people who have come to be known as “controllers.” These are people who are not willing to let you live your life before God as you believe He is leading you. They have all the issues buttoned down and have cast-iron opinions about all of them. These people only know black and white. There are no gray areas to them. They insist you live your Christian life according to their rules and their opinions. If you insist on being free to live as God wants you to live, they will try to intimidate you and manipulate you one way or another. Their primary weapons are “guilt trips,” rejection, or gossip. These people must be resisted. We must not allow them to subvert the freedom we have in Christ.

INSTRUCTIONS

*See "Basic Method for Preparing Poultry" recipe.
Place prepared chicken in 5 1/2 qt. casserole with the livers and minced
onion.  Sprinkle with the spices and 1 tsp. salt. Toss to coat evenly.
Puree parsley in blender or food processor with 1/4 c water. Add half the
"parsley water" and all of the smen to the casserole. Pour in 1 cup water;
bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for one hour, adding more
water if necessary.  Remove chicken to a colander when very tender and keep
warm while the sauce simmers one full hour.
Heat the 2 tb. sweet butter in a skillet; gently brown the drained chicken
quarters.  Transfer to a flameproof serving dish, cover, and keep warm.
Meanwhile, add the remaining "parsley water" to the sauce in the casserole
and, by boiling rapidly, uncovered, reduce to 1 1/2 cups. Dump the sauce,
livers, and odd bits of skin and bits in the blender. Whirl until the sauce
is smooth.  Pour over the chicken and reheat.
Discard the pulp from the preserved lemon and dice the peel. Sprinkle diced
lemon peel over the chicken. Simmer 5 minutes, taste for seasoning, and add
additional salt if necessary.  Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve at once.
This is a classic dish from Fez.

A Message from our Provider:

“Having Truth decay? Brush up on your Bible!”

Contrary to what might be expected, I look back on experiences that at the time seemed especially desolating and painful, with particular satisfaction. Indeed, I can say with complete truthfulness that everything I have learned in my seventy five years in this world, everything that has truly enhanced and enlightened my existence, has been through affliction and not through happiness, whether pursued or attained... This, of course, is what the Cross signifies. And it is the Cross, more than anything else, that has called me inexorably to Christ.
