Name: Grilled Pears with Minted Honey Glaze
Ingredients: 2 ts Mildly flavored vegetable oil; Such as canola or corn; 1 1/2 tb Honey; 1 ts Finely chopped mint leaves; 1 Whole mint leaves for garnish

We must not conceal from ourselves that true Christianity brings with it a daily cross in this life, while it offers us a crown of glory in the life to come. The flesh must be daily crucified. The devil must be daily resisted. The world must be daily overcome. There is a warfare to be waged, and a battle to be fought. All this is the inseparable accompaniment of true religion. Heaven is not to be won without it. Never was there a truer word than the old saying, “No cross, no crown!” If we never found this out by experience, our souls are in a poor condition.

GRILLED PEARS WITH MINTED HONEY GLAZE B: Veggie Life, May, 1999 S: Makes 4
servings
2 large firm pears 1. Preheat barbecue grill or grill pan to medium-high.
2. Peel and halve pears. Remove cores neatly with a melon bailer or a small
sharp spoon. Leaving stem end intact, cut each pear into thin slices from
base toward stem, so you can fan the slices. Brush pears, including cut
edges, very lightly with oil. 3. Gently fan the pears onto the hot grill,
stem ends toward you. Grill until tender and well marked, about 3 minutes
per side. (Turn pears easily by sliding a large spatula underneath,
starting from the uncut stem end.) 4. In a small howl, combine honey and
mint. Warm slightly (about 10 seconds in microwave), drizzle over pear
fans, and garnish with mint leaves.

“Jesus: power to break life controlling problems”

Judgment seat translates bema , which, in its simplest definition, describes a place reached by steps, or a platform. The Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) uses it that way in Nehemiah 8:4. In Greek culture bema referred to the elevated platform on which victorious athletes received their crowns, much like the medal stand in the modern Olympic games. In the New Testament it was used on the judgment seats of Pilate (Matt. 27:19; John 19:13), Herod (Acts 12:21), and Festus (Acts 25:6, 10, 17). There was also a bema at Corinth, where unbelieving Jews unsuccessfully accused Paul before the Roman proconsul Gallio (Acts 18:12, 16, 17). A person was brought before a bema to have his or her deeds examined, in a judicial sense for indictment or exoneration, or for the purpose of recognizing and rewarding some achievement. Writing to the Romans of this same event, Paul described it as “the judgment seat [ bema ] of God” (Rom 14:10). God the Father is the ultimate Judge, but He has “given all judgment to the Son” (John 5:22).
