The devil will try to destroy us by leading us into immoral behavior (Eph. 4:27). That is a real struggle for every Christian. Which is easier: to march around the city and claim it for Christ or to stop running down a fellow believer behind her back? Which is the more demanding: to pray over someone that the demon of jealousy be cast out or going up to someone and asking their forgiveness for the way you have hurt them by your cutting remarks inspired by jealousy? I know which is a real wrestling match for me (Eph. 6:12). This is where the real battle lies in Christian relationships, putting into practice at personal cost Christian truth – not some imaginary Dungeon and Dragons world.

INSTRUCTIONS

RELISH
Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with meat mallet to
1/4-inch thickness (I didn't do this). Heat oil in large skillet and brown
chicken on all sides, about 12 minutes. Add 1 clove garlic and cook 2 to 3
minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and opaque. Season chicken with
salt and pepper and place in single layer in casserole. Set aside and keep
warm.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
To make relish, place beans, scallions, tomato, bell pepper, 1 clove
garlic, vinegar, sugar, cumin, salt, and pepper in bowl and stir to
combine. Spoon over chicken and sprinkle with cheese. Bake in preheated
oven 10 to 15 minutes or until hated through. Serve with yellow rice.
