Name: Apple-Raisin Stuffing

But it is far more common for the evangelical preacher to edit God’s Word: 1. By removing the text from its context, and using it to say what-ever the preacher likes, 2. By moralizing the text, so that it is reduced to an ethical maxim that ﬁts any religion, 3. By using the text to promote hobby-horses, and 4. By dogmatic insistence that the text says things it does not truly say. This homiletical hocus-pocus has subtle roots such as the desire to be clever and popular or synthetically relevant or intellectually respectable or to make the gospel more acceptable. But most often God’s Word gets watered down by the preacher’s laziness. He simply will not do the hard work to engage and preach a text in its context.

INSTRUCTIONS

(From Taste of Home Oct./Nov. 1996 by Denise Goedeken Platte Center,
Nebraska).  This recipe was shown served with roasted goose...however I'm
going to make it with turkey.
In a skillet, saute the celery and onion in butter; transfer to a large
bowl. Add the apples, raisins, bread, sugar and salt. In a small bowl, beat
eggs, cider and water. Pour over bread mixture and toss lightly. Stuff your
turkey (says goose 10-12 pounds).
