The great hymns of the church are on the way out. They are not gone entirely, but they are going and in their place have come trite jingles that have more in common with contemporary advertising ditties than the psalms. The problem here is not so much the style of the music, though trite words fit best with trite tunes and harmonies. Rather it is with the content of the songs. The old hymns expressed the theology of the Bible in profound and perceptive ways and with winsome memorable language. Today’s songs are focused on ourselves. They reflect our shallow or nonexistent theology and do almost nothing to elevate our thoughts about God. Worst of all are songs that merely repeat a trite idea, word, or phrase over and over again. Songs like this are not worship, though they may give the church-goer a religious feeling. They are mantras, which belong more in a gathering of New Agers than among the worshiping people of God.

INSTRUCTIONS

GRAIG GARDINER KNHT09A
Combine hot sauce, with oil and vinegar.  Trim the wing tips and then poke
each wint in 3-4 places with a a heavy kitchen fork. Marinate wings in
sauce for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, covered. When ready to cook, drain
in a colander, reserving liquid. Shake wings in a bag of flour seasoned
with salt and pepper, and arrange on a lightly oiled heavy baking sheet.
Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees, turning several times until done and crispy.
Drain on paper towels.  They can be done on a rack but not under the
broiler because the flour will burn. Don't try deep frying them because the
moisture content is too high. They are good cold and also reheat well.
You can bring the hot sauce to a full boil and save for reuse, but not more
than once because it weakens in flavor. This is just a different approach
but I thought you might find it interesting. Craig MM Norma Wrenn
