God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
All of this longing for guilt comes from the conviction that, if we will make ourselves feel bad enough and carrying a burden of remorse long enough, we will merit God’s grace. But who really wants us pressed down and paralyzed by a burden of guilt? Satan. He is our accuser (see Rev.12:10). Nothing pleases him more than for Christians to beat themselves down into paralyzing depression or unproductive despair. The Bible does not say our guilty feelings or compensating recriminations will make us right with God. God makes us right with God. He does not want us bowed down in despair. He is the lifter of our heads (Ps. 3:3).
Evangelistic preaching does say, “Repent and trust Christ now.” But there is nothing sacrosanct about getting people to occupy a certain piece of geography at the front of a building. Nor have I kept them from Christ by not having them respond to a public altar call. Rather I am offering them Christ without anything in between. I want nothing between their soul and the reality of Christ’s offer. To put something in between is a practical sacramentalism.
Drain, rinse and cook the beans until tender (70-90 minutes) in 3 cups of
water with the bay leaf and garlic.
Drain the beans, but reserve the liquid in case it is needed later to thin
the filling mixture.
Combine the TVP, hot water, hot bean liquid, chili powder, cumin, salt and
oregano.
Saute the onion in the olive oil in a good sized skilled until softened.
Add the seasoned TVP and cook a few minutes more. Stir in the cooked beans,
then transfer mixture to a food processor or blender and mash to a fairly
smooth textured filling, adding a little of the bean liquid if mixture is
too thick. Taste and add a little hot sauce if desired. If done in a
blender, you may need to do it in two batches, then mix the batches
together.
To assemble: heat a griddle or skillet until a few drops of water dance on
the surface. Dry fry each tortilla on both sides until the surface of the
tortilla begins to bubble and brown slightly. Keep them warm in a thick
towel. When all are heated, place about 1/3 cup of filling down one side of
a tortilla and roll up. You may wish to enclose or serve with side dishes
of shredded lettuce, grated soy cheese, salsa sauce or sliced avocados.
Serve immediately.
To reheat: Burritos may be made ahead, kept wrapped, and baked before
serving. Unwrap, place on cookie sheet, bursh tops lightly with oil if
desired and bake at 350 degrees about 20 minutes.
