El Charro Barbacoa (bbq)

A biblical evangelist…is one who studies to know what the Bible says about God, Christ, sin, holiness, justice, wrath, grace, love, and the salvation of sinners, and then teaches those doctrines to unconverted people. Relying solely upon the truth of the doctrines of the Bible and the working of the Spirit of God, he urges them to repent and believe the truth. The biblical evangelist is not a clever or manipulative person who says or does whatever it takes to get people to “make a decision for Christ.” He is not the one who, because he genuinely longs to see people saved, is willing to stray from, add to, modify, or reduce the doctrines of the Bible. The biblical evangelist is the one who is convinced that God saves those who believe “the foolishness of the [biblical] message preached” (1 Corinthians 1:21). He has no confidence in a message that seems more palatable, user-friendly, culturally relevant, or seemingly more effective in persuading people to “make a decision” or say a “sinner's prayer.”

INSTRUCTIONS

Garlic Puree - peel 8 whole heads of garlic by smashing the cloves
with the side of a wide knife; the peel will slip off easily then.  Put
the peeled garlic in a blender with about 2 cups of water, and  puree.
Drain, if necessary, and store in a tightly closed glass jar  in the
refrigerator.  At weddings, showers, saint's days celebrations and
other special  occasions a hostess was sure to serve small tortillas or
gorditas  (which are fatter, or mas gorda, than tortillas), one filled
with  beans, the other with BARBACOA, along with shredded cappage,
dressed  with vinegar and oil, and a salsa of some kind. Often
nacatamales  (cocktail size tamales), perhaps filled with chicken,
potato, raisins  and olives, would make up part of the plate offered.
And no party was  complete without at least one verse of "Las
Mananitas", the Mother's  Day song, or bizcochuelos, buttery cookies
shaped like wreaths and  with the unforgettable flavor of anise.  In an
8-quart stock pot, bring water to the boil, add meat, garlic  puree,
spice pouch and salt. Bring to the boil again, skim scum,  reduce heat
and simmer 1 hour, or until the meat is tender,  frequently removing
scum. Remove meat and cool enough to handle.  Discard spice pouch;
reserve liquid. With fingers, shred the meat  finely.  In a large
skillet, heat oil and saute green chile, onion, garlic  puree, vinegar,
broth and jalapeno. Add bay leaf. Add shredded meat  and the rest of
the ingredients. Simmer until flavors blend, about 10  minutes.  Place
seasoned meat in a large, shallow baking pan and bake at 300  degrees
for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.  Recipe By     : El Charro

It is not persecution alone that we ought to fear, not those forces that in open warfare range abroad to overthrow and defeat the servants of God. It is easy enough to be on one’s guard when the danger is obvious; one can stir up one’s courage for the fight when the Enemy shows himself in his true colors. There is more need to fear and beware of the Enemy when he creeps up secretly, when he beguiles us by a show of peace and steals forward by those hidden approaches which have earned him the name of the 'Serpent.'… Those whom he has failed to keep in the blindness of their old [pagan] ways he beguiles, and leads them up a new road of illusion. He snatches away people from within the Church herself, and while they think that coming close to the light they have now done with the night of the world, he plunges them unexpectedly into darkness of another kind. They still call themselves Christians after abandoning the Gospel of Christ and the observance of His [moral] law; though walking in darkness they think they still enjoy the light.
