Name: Beans with Vegetables
Ingredients: 1 tb Plus; 1 ts Olive oil; 1 md Red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips; 2 ts Finely chopped garlic; 1 pn Curshed red pepper flakes; 8 Broccoli spears, cut into bite-sized pieces and steamed; 2 c Cauliflower florets, cut into bite-size pieces and steamed; 1 lb Drained rinsed cooked cannellini (white kidney) beans; Freshly ground pepper; Salt (optional-I used Mrs. Dash)

In Jeremiah’s prophecy of the new covenant, Jeremiah explicitly says, “It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers, when I led them by the hand out of Egypt” (Jer. 31:32). How will it be different? For one thing, it will be unbreakable (v. 32). For another, all the members of that covenant will be regenerate, the law written on their hearts (v. 33). Yet another difference will be that the covenant will not operate according to natural lines of birth and descent, but through spiritual birth (vv. 29-30). Here the discontinuity between the new covenant and the Mosaic covenant is enormous: a covenant of grace, not works; a covenant that regenerates rather than kills; a covenant entered into through spiritual rather than natural birth. And yet for all this discontinuity, Jeremiah is clear that this new covenant is the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel, made to their forefather Abraham.

A Message from our Provider:

“God loves each of us as if there were only one of us. #Augustine”

In the process of striving to fulfill our needs and satisfy our desires, the church has slipped into a philosophy of “Christian humanism” that is flawed with self-love, self-esteem, self-fulfillment, and self-glory. There appears to be scant concern about worshiping our glorious God on His terms. So-called worship seems little more than some liturgy (high or low) equated with stained-glass windows, organ music, or emotion-filled songs and prayers. If the bulletin didn’t say “Worship Service,” maybe we wouldn’t know what we were supposed to be doing. And that reflects the absence of a worshiping life- of which a Sunday service is to be only a corporate overflow.
