God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
It is important to note that as Jesus was standing on the brink of the most important public ministry the world had ever seen [Mt. 4:1-11], He chose to fast! Have you ever paused to reflect on the eternal consequences of what transpired in the wilderness of Judea those forty days? Heaven and hell hung in the balance. Had Jesus wavered, had He faltered, had He balked, all hope of heaven would have been dashed on the very rocks with which the enemy tempted Him. Of the dozens of things Jesus might have done to withstand temptation, He is led by the Spirit to fast.
A God-centered worldview brings every issue, question, and cultural concern into submission to all that the Bible reveals, and frames all understanding within the ultimate purpose of bringing greater glory to God. This task of bringing every thought captive to Christ requires more than haphazard Christian thinking, and is to be understood as the task of the church and not merely the concern of individual believers. The recovery of the Christian mind and the development of a comprehensive Christian worldview will require the deepest theological reflection, the most consecrated application of scholarship, the most sensitive commitment to compassion, and the courage to face all questions without fear.

INSTRUCTIONS
In a large heavy-bottomed pan, preferably with a nonstick surface, heat 2
tablespoons oil over high heat. When oil is very hot add chicken, a few
pieces at a time, and sear until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon remove chicken to a plate and continue until all
pieces are browned.
Add remaining oil and onions to pan, reduce heat to medium-high and fry 30
minutes until light brown, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add
garlic and ginger and fry 5 minutes. Add cinnamon and cardamom and fry 2
minutes, until spices are puffed and beginning to brown. Add turmeric and
cayenne and stir rapidly 15 seconds. Return chicken to pan and stir in
tomatoes, salt and 2 cups boiling water. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and
cook about 45 minutes, until chicken is tender and gravy has thickened.
Check frequently, and add a little water if sauce is evaporating too
quickly. Turn off heat and let dish rest, covered at least 1 hour,
preferably 2. When ready to serve, reheat, fold in cumin and cilantro, and
adjust seasonings if needed.
