Why do soldiers first experience boot camp? Because they need to be taught how to push their body, overcome the desire to quit and grow beyond the pain. The mind way too often gives in before the body gives out. Likewise, why did the Apostle Paul say, “I discipline my body and make it my slave” (1 Cor. 9:27). The Christian life is not about listening to our bodies and giving into its desires (gluttony, drunkenness, slothfulness, sexual immorality), but rather mastering our bodies and making the body a slave to a biblically controlled mind. This is the difference between being controlled by the flesh or being led by the Spirit (Gal. 5). Exercise, in order to be effective, pushes the body beyond its comfort zone. Diets push the body beyond its comfort zone. These make the body your slave and no longer your master. These produce discipline. And coming full circle, discipline is essential for us to mortify sin (cf. 1 Pet. 4:1-2).

INSTRUCTIONS

(As printed in the New York Times, with alternate ingredients [ ] )
1. Rinse and pick over Cranberries, discarding stems or blemished berries.
Peel, core and finely chop the Pineapple. Peel and grate or mince the
Ginger. Seed and mince the Chili. Remove two strips of zest from the lemon
with a vegetable peeler and extract the juice from the fruit. Tie the Lemon
zest and spices (if using whole spices) in a piece of cheesecloth, or just
add them to the pot.
2. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Because of the Cranberry's high
acidity, they should not be placed in an aluminum or cast iron pan. Bring
to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer the chutney for 8-10 minutes, or until
the Cranberries begin to pop. Correct the seasonings, adding more sugar,
vinegar and lemon juice as needed; the Chutney should be a little sweet a
little sour and a little spicy. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, preferably
overnight. Remove the cheesecloth bundle.
Yield: 4 Cups, or 6 - 8 servings Prep Time: 15 Minutes Cooking Time: 10 -
