We Love God!

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

We must ask ourselves, “For me personally, is this something the Lord would be pleased with?” If we have any doubts we should not do it (Rom. 14:20-23). If you believe that the Lord’s will for your life would not be violated, then you’re free to proceed (Rom. 14:5). But be careful here: Paul warns us to be completely free from doubts. In other words, we should not be involved in some “gray” activity without having sought counsel, studied God’s Word, prayed, and scrutinized all possible pros and cons before proceeding. If important issues are bypassed and the conscience is violated, the result is sin (Rom. 14:23).

Your children are the product of two things. The first – shaping influence, is their physical make-up and their life experience. The second – Godward orientation, determines how they interact with that experience. Parenting involves 1) providing the best shaping influences you can and 2) the careful shepherding of your children’s responses to those influences.

INGREDIENTS

2 tb Canola oil
10 Cloves garlic; crushed and peeled
1 lg Onion; chopped
1 tb Tomato paste
2/3 c Dry white wine
1 c Lentils; rinsed
5 c Light chicken stock; or water

INSTRUCTIONS

Blackened garlic, lentils, and pasta was one of Bob Calderone's favorite
combinations when he was a boy. Calderone, chef-owner of Anago in the Lenox
Hotel, now turns the combination into a bisque. Here is an adaptation of
his recipe.
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the
garlic and cook, turning often, until charred, about 5 minutes. Put in the
onion and cook for an additional 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Add
the tomatoe paste and wine, and cook while stirring until the tomato paste
dissolves and the wine bubbles. Add the lentils and chicken stock, and
bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 45 minutes or
until the lentils are tender. Add more stock or water to keep the lentils
covered. Remove from the heat and, when cool enough to handle, puree in
batches in a processor. Refrigerate overnight.
The next day, bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Stir in the cream and more
stock or water if it is too thick and heat thoroughly. Season with salt and
pepper, and garnish with chopped tomatoes and Italian parsley, if desired.
