Mainstream evangelicals are offended by "too much" talk about money, fearing that it may contaminate true spirituality. The real reason for seeking this silence, however, is subtle but clear: Too much emphasis on the spiritual necessity of giving as a matter of our salvation directly confronts our materialism and the individualistic privatization of our lives. The call to give is a call to flee the idolatrous worship of the Dollar and the Self by trusting in God's grace alone for our happiness and security. To talk about money is to talk about God.

INGREDIENTS

2	lb	Dry pinto beans (about 5 cups)
		Water
1/2	lb	Salt pork; cut in chunks (optional)
2	ts	Salt (up to 5)
1/4	ts	Black ground pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Search beans for tooth-breaking pebbles. Wash beans well with water to
remove dust and soak overnight in plenty of clean water or cover beans with
boiling water, cover with a lid and let stand 1 hour to soak. Place beans
in large Dutch oven, cover with additional water, add salt pork, cover and
cook over bed of very hot coals. Kindling may need to be added to coals to
start beans boiling. After beans start to boil, cook beans covered over low
to medium hot coals. When beans are soft, add salt and pepper to taste,
cover and let simmer until ready to serve.
*If salt pork is used, less salt is needed. If salt pork is not used, add 1
teaspoon of bacon drippings or other fat per cup of dried beans to prevent
foaming and add flavor.
