We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Every effect has a cause; there cannot be an infinite regress of finite causes; therefore, there must be an uncaused cause or necessary being; this being is God (The Cosmological Argument, proponents- Aquinas).
H. Wayne House

Personal working for souls is good. Giving money is good. But praying is best of all. By prayer we reach Him without whom work and money are alike in vain. We obtain the aid of the Holy Spirit. Money can hire workers. Universities can give learning. Congregations may elect. Bishops may ordain. But the Holy Spirit alone can make ministers of the Gospel, and raise up lay workmen in the spiritual harvest, who need not be ashamed. Never, never may we forget that if we would do good to the world, our first duty is to pray!

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Meats Sami Caprial1 6 Servings

INGREDIENTS

1 Chuck roast, 4-pound
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 c All-purpose flour
1 T Olive oil
1 Onion, diced
3 Gloves garlic, chopped
1/2 lb Dried Mission figs, halved
lengthwise
1/2 c Red wine
1/2 c Port
2 c Veal or chicken stock
1 T Chopped fresh thyme

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Season the roast with salt and
pepper. Put the flour on a large plate and dredge the meat in the
flour. Place the oil in a roasting pan and heat it in the oven or on  a
burner over high heat until the oil is smoking hot. Add the roast  and
brown each side well, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onion and garlic  and
saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the figs, red wine, and  Port
and cook over high heat until reduced by half. Add the stock and  bring
to a boil. Add the thyme, cover the roasting pan with a lid,  and place
in the oven. Cook until tender, about 1 hour.  Remove the pan from the
oven and place the roast on a cutting board,  reserving the braising
liquid in the pan for the sauce. Slice the  roast against the grain,
cutting 1/4-inch-thick pieces, and put the  slices on a serving plate.
Season the sauce in the pan to taste with  salt and pepper. If the
sauce is thin, place the pan on a burner over  high heat and reduce
until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.  Ladle sauce over the
sliced meat and serve hot.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Per serving: 91
