God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The gospel Jesus proclaimed was a call to discipleship, a call to follow Him in submissive obedience, not just a plea to make a decision or pray a prayer. Jesus’ message liberated people from the bondage of their sin while it confronted and condemned hypocrisy. It was an offer of eternal life and forgiveness for repentant sinners, but at the same time it was a rebuke to outwardly religious people whose lives were devoid of true righteousness. It put sinners on notice that they must turn from sin and embrace God’s righteousness. It was in every sense good news, yet it was anything but easy-believism.
A satisfactory religion must satisfy. But satisfy what and why? The Greek mysteries satisfied the emotions; brute force can satisfy the will; but Christianity satisfies the intellect because it is true, and truth is the only everlasting satisfaction (Gordon Haddon Clark).
NB* As usual, the weight of pastry is the weight of flour used to make it.
Roll out the pastry and line a 9" flan ring. Bake blind as usual at a
high temperature (400 for 8-9 mins weighted down then a futher 2-3 mins
just to colour lightly). Meanwhile, mash the cheeses together, put into a
measuring jug and make up to volume with cream or cream and milk. Beat hard
with the eggs (food processor). Season to taste with salt, pepper and
cayenne as usual.
The asparagus should have been peeled/trimmed as usual and boiled in
strongly salted water until just tender - for really freshly picked
asparagus <15 minutes will suffice. Immediately remove from water and
separate on a paper towel to cool quickly. When cold, cut into 2" lengths
and spread out on the flan base. Pour over the custard and bake in a
moderate oven (375F) for around 30 minutes until nicely set. Serve warm
(not cold or too hot).
