Name: Eggplant la Louisiane
Ingredients: 2 lg Eggplants; 1/3 c Finely chopped onions; 1/3 c Finely chopped celery; 1/3 c Finely chopped bell pepper; 1 lb Raw; medium shrimp, peeled; 1/2 lb Claw crabmeat; 1/2 lb Butter; 1/2 c Bread crumbs; Salt & pepper to taste

Like my lamentations about the church at times failing to display grace, the church at times also fails to display truth. Do we dare to be ashamed to speak about Jesus in fear that it might offend someone and defend it in the name of grace? Are we permissive and overly tolerant with our children, avoiding discipline while thinking we are acting in grace? Should we eliminate certain biblical principles like repentance, hell, church discipline, marriage roles, sin, God’s sovereignty and Christ’s lordship because we wish to offer grace? Should we not confront sin and hold each other accountable because we think that is a display of grace?
