Eggplant With Penne – We Love God!

We evangelicals make the foolish mistake of thinking that when enough souls decide to make Jesus the Lord of their lives, that He will become the Lord of all things. The reality is that Jesus is already Lord over all things. His kingdom, strictly speaking, does not expand, for even now it knows no borders. He does not, therefore, engage in some sort of power sharing arrangement with other pretenders to His throne, whether they be false deities, or those who falsely worship them. His lordship is not something we accomplish. It is something we recognize and submit to. It is not something we negotiate; it is something we proclaim.

INSTRUCTIONS

SERVINGS DAIRY-FREE  "I enjoy this dish because by the time the pasta
is cooked, the  eggplant and sauce are ready to be added," says copy
editor Terry  Christofferson.  Put eggplant cubes into colander and
toss with 2 teaspoons salt and  set aside. Bring a large pot of water
to a boil.  In small bowl, mix hoisin sauce, water and lemon juice and
set aside.  When water boils, add pasta and 2 teaspoons salt, stirring
to prevent  pasta from sticking. Cook, stirring occasionally, until
pasta is al  dente, about 10    minutes.  Meanwhile, in large nonstick
skillet, heat sesame and vegetable oils  over medium heat. Add garlic
and cook, stirring often, until  fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add
eggplant in batches, squeezing our as  much water as possible. Cook,
stirring often, 5 minutes. Add hoisin  mixture and stir well. Cover and
cook, stirring occasionally, until  eggplant is tender, about 10
minutes.  Drain pasta and transfer to large bowl. Add eggplant mixture
and toss  to mix. Season with salt and pepper.  PER SERVING: 289 CAL.;

A woman’s heart bears God’s image differently than a man’s does, but no less accurately. Indeed, with only the masculine qualities that men exhibit, God’s image is not completely displayed in this world. Men must realize that those feminine qualities that seem so baffling (and to a certain extent always will) are things of beauty and honor that manifest aspects of the image of God. Far from wishing that a woman’s perspective could just be ignored or somehow fixed, Christian men should look upon women with wonder and joy – indeed, with the very delight once expressed by Adam in the Garden! (Richard and Sharon Phillips).
