God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Like my lamentations about the church at times failing to display grace, the church at times also fails to display truth. Do we dare to be ashamed to speak about Jesus in fear that it might offend someone and defend it in the name of grace? Are we permissive and overly tolerant with our children, avoiding discipline while thinking we are acting in grace? Should we eliminate certain biblical principles like repentance, hell, church discipline, marriage roles, sin, God’s sovereignty and Christ’s lordship because we wish to offer grace? Should we not confront sin and hold each other accountable because we think that is a display of grace?
Most of our bitterness and anger towards others is rooted in an inability to be profoundly amazed at Christ's love for us in our sin. If you are struggling with bitterness then it may be that the Lord is letting the very sin that is flowing from your inability to see Christ be the means by which you come to see him. In other words, perhaps this season of rage, anger, and a fed-up 'I'm out of here and don't want anything to do with you' spirit is where you have had to come in order to see the greatness of your sin as a forgiven and justified saint. And the Lord has done it so that you would be stunned at his grace in a deeper way than you've ever been stunned by the grace of God before. And now, out of that experience can flow grace towards others.
Note: Vary the end result by experimenting with different combinations of
ramen flavors, types of greens and types of ground meat. One favorite
combination is ground chicken with mushroom ramen and lots of fresh sliced
mushrooms and collard greens. Bok choy, collards, spinach and even romaine
(which was the one used in the original version of this recipe) are all
good choices for the greens. I always use the Westbrae brand of ramen
noodles, a nationally distributed brand found in health and natural foods
stores.
If using fresh mushrooms, saute in a little oil until they soften and begin
to give off their juices; remove from the skillet or wok and set aside. In
a large skillet or wok, cook the ground meat, carrots, onion and garlic
over high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the meat is just cooked
through. Break the meat up into chunks as you cook. Break the ramen
noodles into the skillet. Stir in the seasoning packets, water and peas.
Cook for 3 - 5 minutes, or until the noodles and vegetables are tender.
Stir in the chopped greens and cook for another 3 - 4 minutes, stirring
constantly. Return the cooked mushrooms to the wok, if using; toss to
distribute evenly. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
