God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Since we believe in the resurrection of the body, we do not see a corpse as garbage. From the time of our earliest ancestors in the faith, we have buried our dead, committing them to the earth from which they came with the conviction that they will one day be summoned from it once more. The image of sleep is useful—not because the dead are unconscious but because they will one day be awakened. God deems as faith Joseph committing his bones to his brothers for future transport into the land of promise. In the same way the act of burial is a testimony of the entire community to the resurrection of the body. Cremation is a horrifying testimony of the burning up of the flesh and bones, a testimony that is decidedly pagan in both origin and in practice. Of course, God can resurrect a cremated Christian (or a Christian torn to pieces by lions, etc.), but how we deal with the body of a Christian teaches us - and the watching world - what we really believe about the gospel. Cremation ought then to be shunned by those who hope in Christ.
The seasoning on the breasts can be as simple as salt and pepper. Other
possibilities include sage, granulated garlic, basil, oregano, thyme or
rosemary. If you use a commercial mix, avoid too much salt.
In a large saute or frying pan, brown both sides of the seasoned breasts in
the olive oil and remove them from heat. It is not necessary to completely
cook the chicken breasts at this time.
Deglaze the pan with the wine and add the garlic, onion, and green pepper.
Saute until vegetables are tender. Add the tomatoes and all but 2
tablespoons of the chicken stock. Bring to a gentle boil and return the
chicken breasts to the pan. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is done,
10 to 15 minutes. Correct the seasonings and thicken with remaining
chicken stock and cornstarch, if needed.
Serve over rice or your favorite pasta.

A Message from our Provider:
“A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord. #John MacArthur”
