It is a calling to do what only single men and women in Christ can do in this world, namely, to display by the Christ-exalting devotion of your singleness the truths about Christ and His kingdom that shine more clearly through singleness than through marriage. As long as you are single, this is your calling: to so live for Christ as to make it clearer to the world and to the church 1. that the family of God grows not by propagation through sexual intercourse, but by regeneration through faith in Christ; 2. that relationships in Christ are more permanent; and more precious, than relationships in families; 3. that marriage is temporary and finally gives way to the relationship to which it was pointing all along: Christ and the church – the way a picture is no longer needed when you see face-to-face; 4. and that faithfulness to Christ defines the value of life; all other relationships get their final significance form this. No family relationship is ultimate; relationship to Christ is.

INSTRUCTIONS

* Note: See the "Green Olive Pesto" recipe which is included in this
collection.
Roll goat cheese into four balls roughly the size of golf balls. Roll balls
in a plate covered with Green Olive Pesto, tapping and rolling so that
pesto adheres in a thin layer. Roll olive pesto-coated goat cheese balls in
a plate covered with chopped parsley, until coated. Set aside. Bring two
quarts of water to a boil. Drop squash cubes into boiling water and cook
until soft yet still firm (about 5 to 6 minutes). Drain in a colander over
sink and refresh with cold water until cool. Toss squash cubes with 4
ounces of the extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, scallions, and
mustard seeds. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide and arrange
squash salad in center of four plates. Place one goat cheese truffle in
center of each plate and drizzle with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
and serve. This recipe yields 4 servings.
