Harissa (moroccan Hot Sauce)

Are you settling for a vision that is too small in your life? Are you choosing the easy option because you don’t really believe God can bring about something great in your life? Yes, God sometimes calls us to be faithful in the little things, but is that really your calling, or are you afraid to hope for anything more? And what about your church? Do you expect to see God do great things there? Do you pray for God to do great things there, or are you content just to survive? All too often we don’t really expect God to do anything dramatic, do we? It seems too difficult to imagine.

INSTRUCTIONS

Place cumin, coriander, cardamom, chili pequins, cloves and
peppercorns in a small saucepan, set over moderately high heat, and
toast spices 3-4 minutes, shaking pan frequently. Note: cumin seeds
will turn bitter if browned. Cool spices 2-3 minutes, transfer to a
mortar, and crush thouroughly with a pestle. Add cayenne, salt and
garlic and crush all to paste. Transfer to a small jar, add oil,  cover
tight and store at room temperature. Sauce will keep several  weeks.
Use sparingly to flavor hot sauce for couscous, meatballs, and  meat
loaves. Replenish oil each time so that the spice mixture is  covered
at all times by about 1/3 in oil.  NOTES : When making harissa, you may
substitute crushed or ground  spices for the whole and omit roasting
them, but the flavor of the  harissa will not be as intense.

A Message from our Provider:

“Religion: a mirage. Jesus: reality”

But what is the meaning of the phrase “on the Lord’s Day?” In one sense, it may be said that every day of the week belongs to the Lord, and so might be called the “Lord’s day.” But John [in Revelation 1:10] is referring to something more specific. He does not speak merely of “a” day that has been consecrated to the Lord. Instead he speaks of “the” Lord’s Day. That one day that may be called “the Lord’s Day” was the day in which He proved to the world that He was Lord. On one particular day, Jesus made the universe understand that He was Lord of all. That day was the day of His resurrection. On that day, he conquered the last of the sinner’s enemies, which is death. On the first day of the week, he showed that his power could overcome all enemies, even death itself. That day is “the Lord’s Day.”
