Name: Fusilli With fresh Tomatoes
Ingredients: 8 oz Fusilli or other pasta; 1 tb Balsamic vinegar; 6 Plum tomatoes; peeled, seeded, and chopped, (use canned to save time); 1 c Torn fresh basil; (don't use dried; won't be the same); 1/2 c Chopped red onions; Salt and black pepper; Grated f/f parmesan cheese; (optional)

There is a Christian failure to distinguish between socializing and fellowship. Although socializing is often both a part of and the context of fellowship, it is possible to socialize without having fellowship. Socializing involves the sharing of human and earthly life. Christian fellowship, New Testament koinonia, involves the sharing of spiritual life. Don’t misunderstand- socializing is a valuable asset to the church and necessary for a balanced life. But we have gone beyond giving socializing the place it deserves. We have become willing to accept it as a substitute for fellowship, almost cheating ourselves of the Christian birthright of true fellowship altogether.

INSTRUCTIONS

Reprinted from Nutrition Action, who reprinted it from Prevention's Low-Fat
Italian Favorites. My 11-yr-old daughter, who currently hates pasta, liked
this :-)
Cook the fusili in a large pot of boiling water for 10-12 minutes, or until
just tender; drain well. (I used bionature whole wheat fusilli)
While the fusilli is cooking;, in a mdedium bowl, combine the vinegar,
tomatoes, basil, and onions; add salt and pepper to taste. Serve tomatoes
over fusilli and sprinke with Parmesan, if desired. Serves 4.
Note: Our tomatoes aren't quite ready yet, so I used canned. I don't use
Parmesan cheese. The original called for 1TBS oil, which I left out
completely. If desired, you can use a little of the pasta water to help the
tomatoes 'stick' to the pasta. I doubled the recipe, tossed together,
chilled and took to a block party...went fast. Added chunks of tofu and had
for lunch as well :-)

A Message from our Provider:

“Romans 1:20 – God doesn’t believe in atheists.”

Spiritual battles are fought on the turf of the human mind. It is not about identifying territorial demons or binding demons or rebuking demons. So are we battling the forces of darkness? Yes, because our ultimate battle is “not against flesh and blood” (Eph. 6:12), but no, because we are not called in Scripture to go toe-to-toe engaging in hand-to-hand combat with demonic forces. The war is over the control of human minds. Our aim is to liberate people from demonic strongholds. We are to free the prisoners of war. Our call is to convert not demons, but people. The arena therefore is not mystical, but intellectual. Therefore, according to 2 Corinthians 10:5, we “destroy [intellectual things] raised up against the knowledge of God.” How? We do it with the Word of God. We combat the error that has already been sown in people’s minds with truth. We, verse 5, “are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” This shows that the primary problem is that people have a wrong understanding of Christ.
