INGREDIENTS

1		Round loaf country bread, not too dense
6		Cloves of garlic, peeled and cut in half
1/2	c	Extra virgin olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire.
Cut the middle portion of the round loaf into 6 long slices, each one
almost an inch thick. Cut these slices in half, making half-slices that are
roughly 3x3x1 inches.
When fire is ready, place the 12 slices over it in a single layer. Cook,
turning once, until the outsides of the bread are golden brown (with grill
marks, if possible). This should take about 2 minutes per side-but check
frequently to make sure the bread isn't burning.
When the bread slices are done, rub the edges of each one, on both sides,
with a cut clove of garlic-lightly or heavily, depending on your garlic
preference. Place the slices on a large platter in a single layer. Sprinkle
each slice with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, breaking the surface of the bread
lightly with a spoon to let the oil soak in. Season with salt and pepper.
Turn the slices over and repeat the procedure. Let the slices sit in the
olive oil for 10-15 minutes. Serve as is for simple bruschetta.

A Message from our Provider:

“What gives us conviction of sin is not the number of sins we have committed; it is the sight of the holiness of God. #Martyn Lloyd-Jones”

The only hope there is of standing righteous and acceptable before God is by receiving by faith what another has done for you. All self-attainment, self-accomplishment, self-righteousness must be abandoned realizing the vanity and hopelessness of bringing to pass our own right standing before God. We must humble ourselves before a holy God, recognize our sin, acknowledge our complete inability to remove that sin. Then we must embrace what Christ has done for us, instead of us, paying the penalty of our sin in our place in order to bring to us, by faith, a credited righteousness by which God may rightly justify us as ungodly sinners. Look to Christ and Christ alone.
