The ancient, historical Jesus came full of grace and truth. The modern, mythological Jesus comes full of tolerance and relativism. Even in the church truth is sometimes buried under subjectivism and cowardice, while grace is lost in a sea of permissiveness and indifference. Without truth, we lack courage to speak and convictions to speak about. Without grace, we lack compassion to meet people’s deepest needs. The vast majority of colleges were built with the vision and funding of Christians. Why? To teach truth. Most American hospitals were built with the vision and funding of Christians. Why? To extend grace. We don’t have the luxury of choosing either grace or truth. Yet many believers habitually embrace one instead of the other, according to our temperament, background, church or family. We must learn to say yes to both grace and truth – and say no to whatever keeps us from them.

>From the Pensacola News Journal
Fry the bacon until crisp in a Dutch oven or deep stove-top casserole.
Drain on absorbent paper.  Pour out excess grease but don't wipe pot clean.
Chop artichokes into small pieces and put them in the Dutch oven.  Top with
chicken.  Sprinkle with thyme, salt and a generous amount of pepper.  Core
the tomatoes, cut them in half and scoop out the seeds with your finger
(don't worry about getting every seed). Slice tomatoes and place the slices
over the chicken. Combine grated cheese and crumbled bacon. Sprinkle over
chicken and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked and
cheese is melted. 4 servings.
