The proper understanding of everything in life begins with God. No one will ever understand the necessity of conversion who does not know why God created us. He created us 'in His image' so that we would image forth his glory in the world. We were made to be prisms refracting the light of God's glory into all of life. Why God should want to give us a share in shining with His glory is a great mystery. Call it grace or mercy or love – it is an unspeakable wonder. Once we were not. Then we existed – for the glory of God!

INSTRUCTIONS

For the spice paste, mix first 12 ingredients plus 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a small skillet. Cook over low heat, stirring
constantly to form a smooth paste, for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat
and stir in oil, wine and orange juice.
Rub each drumstick evenly with this spice paste, then transfer them to a
large nonreactive bowl; cover and refrigerate 2 hours. (Can be refrigerated
overnight.) Heat the broiler. Transfer drumsticks to a broiling pan. Broil
drumsticks, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 20 to 25
minutes. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
Note: Chicken drumsticks are marinated in a peppery spice paste or
'berbere,' which is a staple of Ethiopian cooking. Some of the more exotic
spices have been omitted here, but this recipe still uses the traditional
Ethiopian method of sauteeing the spices to bring out their flavor.
As a refreshing contrast to the spicy chicken, serve a fruit salad of cubed
honeydew, cantaloupe, banana, pineapple, and papaya tossed in lime and
pineapple juices.

A Message from our Provider:

“Misunderstood? No one understands like Jesus”

There are seasons in the lives of all when it is not easy, no not even for Christians, to believe that God is faithful. Our faith is sorely tried, our eyes bedimmed with tears, and we can no longer trace the outworkings of His love. Our ears are distracted with the noises of the world, harassed by the atheistic whisperings of Satan, and we can no longer hear the sweet accents of His still small voice. Cherished plans have been thwarted, friends on whom we relied have failed us, a profest brother or sister in Christ has betrayed us. We are staggered. We sought to be faithful to God, and now a dark cloud hides Him from us. We find it difficult, yea, impossible, for carnal reason to harmonize His frowning providence with His gracious promises.
