Name: Chutney in the Raw

How to overcome the flesh: 1. Be honest about the presence and nature of sin continuing in your life. Paul was. In Colossians 3:5-9 he recognizes that the seeds of sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, greed, anger, rage, malice, slander, filthy language and lying, may remain in true Christians and plague their lives. 2. See the sin which continues to indwell you not in the light of your perspective but in the light of God’s judgment. Any and all sin merits His wrath. 3. Remember who you are as a Christian. You have been crucified, buried and raised with Christ (Col. 3:1-3). Consequently you are no longer under the reign and rule of sin (Rom. 6:14,18). Now you must set your mind on Christ and on His reign in your life, and express your new identity in Christ by a life of holiness. 4. Refuse sin. Do not compromise with it; rather, put it to death (Col. 3:5). 5. Fill your life with Christ-like characteristics. (“Put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience”, Col. 3:12). In this way you will leave less and less room for sinful ones (v. 12-17).

  NOTES:
*  An easy chutney with no cooking -- This recipe filtered down to me
through a grapevine of neighbours. You will need a supply of jam-jars,
jam-jar covers and a large pan to keep the ingredients in. Yield: Makes
several jars.
*  I sometimes use currents in place of the stoneless dates, in which case
you don't need to mince them. If the mixture appears too liquid after the
24 hour standing time, it is worth draining off some of the vinegar before
bottling.
*  The beauty of this recipe is that you don't have a vast pot of strange
things bubbling away on the stove for hours. A big win!
: Difficulty:  easy.
: Time:  25 minutes preparation, 24 hours standing time.
: Precision:  approximate measurement OK, but don't go overboard with the
vinegar.
