We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

[Wrongly regarding church involvement]: Christians can think it’s fine to attend a church indefinitely without joining; Christians think of getting baptized apart from joining; Christians take the Lord’s Supper without joining; Christians view the Lord’s Supper as their own private, mystical experience for Christians and not as an activity for church members who are incorporated into body life together; Christians don’t integrate their Monday-to-Saturday lives with the lives of other saints; Christians assume they can make a perpetual habit of being absent from the church’s gathering a few Sundays a month or more; Christians make major life decisions (moving, accepting a promotion, choosing a spouse, etc.) without considering the effects of those decisions on the family of relationships in the church or without consulting the wisdom of the church’s pastors and other members; Christians buy homes or rent apartments with scant regard for how factors such as distance and cost will affect their abilities to serve their church; Christians don’t realize that they are partly responsible for both the spiritual welfare and the physical livelihood of the other members of their church, even members they have not met. When one mourns, one mourns by himself. When one rejoices, one rejoices by herself.
Jonathan Leeman

Spiritual pride is very apt to suspect others, but a humble saint is most jealous of himself. He is as suspicious of nothing in the world as he is of his own heart. The spiritually proud person is apt to find fault with other saints...and to be quick to notice their deficiencies. But the eminently humble Christian has so much to do at home, and sees so much evil in his own heart, and is so concerned about it, that he is not apt to be very busy with other hearts... Pure Christian humility disposes a person to take notice of everything that is good in others, and to make the most of it, and to diminish their failings, but to give his eye chiefly on those things that are bad in himself.

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Grains Swiss 4 Servings

INGREDIENTS

1 Very large onion;chopped
1 bn Swiss chard
1 cn Garbanzo beans 500 g; (known also as chick peas, ceci, etc.)
1/2 c Raisins 75 g
1/2 c Uncooked rice 100 g
Several fresh tomatoes; (or 1 large can 800 g of canned tomatoes)
1 Clove garlic; (or more to taste)
2 Yams
Salt and pepper to taste
Tabasco sauce to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Fry onion, garlic, and white stems of chard until barely limp. Add chopped
greens and fry a bit. Either peel the yams or scrub them well with a
vegetable brush, then slice them into thick slices. Add garbanzos, raisins,
yams, tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook a couple of minutes. Make a well in
the center of the mixture in the pot. Put the rice in the well and pat it
down until it's wet. Cover and cook until rice is done in about 25 minutes.
Add Tabasco sauce to taste. I find that the flavors of the vegetables don't
stand out unless you put in a lot of tabasco. But then, I've got a
cast-iron tongue. You should add enough to make the stew seem spicy to you.
Difficulty: easy. Time: 15 minutes preparation, 30 minutes cooking.
Precision: no need to measure.
