But what about love and loyalty when no one else seems to be hurt, such as premarital sexual relationships? Such an argument does not apprehend biblical love. Love is not simply the absence of obvious injury to anyone. For example, critical thoughts don’t victimize, but they are unloving and wrong. Defining love in terms of whether people get hurt misses the heart of biblical teaching. We may not automatically decide what form love takes. God tells us how to love. When we love on our terms rather than His, we are in sin. Even if our sin does not seem to hurt another human being, it is still sin. If sin were reduced to hurting others, then we could become morally perfect by isolating ourselves from all people. Sin, however, is not primarily a human-against-human action. It is human-against-God. God defines love as obedience to Him.
RUSTIC RUB
In a large bowl mix beef, the 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, the red
pepper and chopped onion. Make 12 meatballs. Insert a garlic clove into the
center of each; pinch beef around garlic.
Mix flour and Rustic Rub in a shallow plate. Add meatballs and roll to
coat. Reserve remaining mixture. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over
medium-high heat. Add meatballs and brown evenly on all sides, 4-5 minutes.
Remove with a slotten spoon to a plate. Reduce heat to medium; add reserve
flour mixture and cook, stirring, 3-4 minutes until a dark chocolate brown.
Add sliced onions, remaining 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper and bay
leaves. Cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until onions are very
soft. Stir in water, bring to a boil, add meatballs, reduce heat and
simmer, uncovered, about 1 hour. Skim fat off surface, remove bay leaves,
add parsley and serve immediately. \
Rustic Rub: Stir all ingredients in a bowl or an airtight container until
blended. Store in a kitchen cabinet up to 3 months.
