Name: Barley with Chicken And Onions
Ingredients: 3 tb Olive oil; 2 Garlic cloves; peeled and chopped; 2 md Yellow onions; peeled and sliced; 8 Chicken thighs; Salt; to taste; Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste; 1 c Barley; rinsed and drained; 6 c Chicken stock; fresh or canned; 2 tb Chopped fresh parsley

When Jesus commands us to be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect (Matt. 5:48), this simply shows that God’s own absolute moral purity is the standard toward which we are to aim and the standard for which God holds us accountable. The fact that we are unable to attain that standard does not mean that it will be lowered; rather, it means that we need God’s grace and forgiveness to overcome our remaining sin. Similarly, when Paul commands the Corinthians to make holiness perfect in the fear of the Lord (2 Cor. 7:1), or prays that God would sanctify the Thessalonians wholly (1 Thess. 5:23), he is pointing to the goal that he desires them to reach. He does not imply that any reach it, but only that this is the high moral standard toward which God wants all believers to aspire.

Comments: Barley is a most interesting and frugal grain. You can put
it in soups, stews, casseroles, even salads. Rice doubles when it
cooks, but barley grows to three to four times its original size.

A Message from our Provider:

“When I grow up, I want to be like Jesus.”

Be men! In courage; not cowards, turning our back on the foe, or giving way in danger, or reproach, or evil days. In solidity; not shifting or shadowy, but immoveable as the rock. In strength; as the man is, so is his strength. Be strong! In wisdom. Foolishness is with childhood, wisdom with manhood. Speak and act with wisdom, as men. In ripeness. The faculties of men are ripe, both for thinking and working. They speak ripe words, think ripe thoughts, plan and execute ripe things. In understanding be men! In all things – what you do, and what you refrain from doing, be men. Act the manly part – let nothing effeminate, luxurious, sickly, childish, puny, little, narrow be seen about you. Christianity makes men, not babes. Adorn the doctrine of Christ by your manliness. In the Church, in the world, in business, in conversation, in prosperity, and adversity, [act] like men! Let no man despise you; and let no man despise the Gospel because of you.

Horatius Bonar
