Pastors of many growing churches preach almost weekly about healthy self-esteem, as if it were taught on every page of Scripture. Too many Christians never see that self-love comes out of a culture that prizes the individual over the community and then reads that basic principle into the pages of Scripture. The Bible, however, rightly understood, asks the question, “Why are you so concerned about yourself?” Furthermore, it indicates that our culture’s proposed cure – increased self-love – is actually the disease. If we fail to recognize the reality and depth of our sin problem, God will become less important, and people will become more important.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 400. You will need 2 non-stick standard size baking sheets.
Cut the bell peppers into strips and place on a non-stick baking sheet,
skin side down. Cut the onions into thick (1/2") slices and place on baking
sheet. Peel the skin off the garlic cloves and set the cloves on top of the
onion slices (one clove per onion slice). Bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes.
The vegetables should be soft and have just a few brown spots.
While the vegetables roast, slice the mushrooms and saute them in 1 T water
in the bottom of a big saucepan. When they are cooked, add the 2 jars of
spaghetti sauce and the basil.  Warm the whole sauce through and allow to
simmer until the roasted vegetables are done.  Dump the roasted vegetables
into the sauce and stir to separate the onion rings.
Serve over penne pasta (which was cooking while you made the sauce since
you think ahead, of course). Ridiculously simple, but it tastes good.

A Message from our Provider:

“The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us.”

Sheep are defenseless, liable to stray, pitiful when lost, scattered, stubborn and unintelligent. Clearly, they are desperate for a shepherd. They are dependent on someone to feed protect and lead them to safe green pastures. In the Bible the church leader is called a pastor, a shepherd. The transfer is applicable. It is His charge to “shepherd the flock of God among you (1 Peter 5:2). That means he must feed them on the nutrients of God’s Word, protect them from false teachers (spiritual wolves), warn them about potential dangers, lead them to the fields of holiness and grace and correct them when they stray. Ultimately, Jesus Christ does this through them.
