Name: Corn and Jalapeno Polenta
Ingredients: 1 tb Butter; 1/2 c Minced white onion; 2 Jalapeno chiles; seeded and finely minced; 1 1/2 c Mild chicken broth; 1/3 c Dry white wine; 1/2 c Polenta or coarsely ground cornmeal; 2 1/2 c Grated fresh corn (about 5 ears); 1/2 ts Salt; 1 tb Snipped chives; Olive oil as needed

But every last drop of poison is poison; every spark of fire is fire; and the last bit of flesh that remains in the believer is still enmity. When God’s grace changes our nature, it doesn’t change the nature of the flesh. It conquers it, weakens it, mortally wounds it, so that we are no longer Captain Ahabs by nature; yet his defiant malice smolders in our flesh. By the time Paul wrote Romans, he must have been as Christlike as anyone can expect to be on this side of heaven, and he surely spend his days putting his flesh to death. Still he cried out for deliverance from this irreconcilable enemy (Rom. 7:24).

INSTRUCTIONS

Recipes by Jacqueline Higuera McMahan
Serve as an accompaniment to grilled or roasted meats, or with a salad for
a light meal.
INSTRUCTIONS: Grease a 8 x 13-inch baking pan. Heat the butter in a wide,
deep skillet. Add the onions and minced chiles and saute until softened. Do
not let them brown. Add the chicken broth, wine and milk. Simmer for a few
minutes. Slowly stir in the polenta and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes.
Add the corn and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, or until a spoon,
drawn through the polenta to the bottom of the pan, leaves a track. Stir in
the salt and chives. Pour the polenta into the prepared pan. Let cool, then
cover well with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed. Just before
serving, cut into 8 squares and carefully remove with a wide spatula
(because of the corn, this polenta is fragile).
Heat a little olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Add a few polenta squares
(do not crowd the pan) and fry until golden brown, turning once. Continue
frying the remaining squares, adding more olive oil as needed.
Serves 8.

A Message from our Provider:

“There is hope. There is Jesus”

“Love your neighbor as yourself” (Mt. 19:19) is considered the biblical proof text (for those who need one). When interpreted through cultural spectacles, this verse means that we must love ourselves in order to love other people. But in reality the passage doesn’t even suggest such an interpretation. Jesus spoke of these words to rich young man who clearly loved himself and his possessions too much. There is only one command in the passage, and it is “love your neighbor.” Nobody, including the writers of Scripture, could have dreamed that this passage taught self-love. It took some cultural changes to reinterpret it and turn our eyes inward.
