Name: Hint for Cleaning Asparagus
Ingredients: === A HINT FOR CLEANING ASPARAGUS ===

Surely we only have to be realistic and honest with ourselves to know how regularly we need to turn to the Bible. How often do we face problems, temptation, and pressure? Every day! Then how often do we need instruction, guidance and greater encouragement? Every day! To catch all these felt needs up into an even greater issue, how often do we need to see God’s face, hear his voice, feel his touch, know his power? The answer to all these questions is the same: every day!

=== A HINT FOR CLEANING ASPARAGUS ===

INSTRUCTIONS

Hold the bottom end of the asparagus stem in one hand and gently bend the
stalk with the other. The stalk will break where it is tender, thus giving
you a piece of asparagus that is entirely edible. With a little practice
you will know exactly where to break the vegetable. Save the broken-off
ends for soups. Slice and add to soup stock, then drain and discard the
coarse stalks before serving.

A Message from our Provider:

“Don’t let your worries get the best of you. Remember, Moses started out as a basket case”

But it is far more common for the evangelical preacher to edit God’s Word: 1. By removing the text from its context, and using it to say what-ever the preacher likes, 2. By moralizing the text, so that it is reduced to an ethical maxim that ﬁts any religion, 3. By using the text to promote hobby-horses, and 4. By dogmatic insistence that the text says things it does not truly say. This homiletical hocus-pocus has subtle roots such as the desire to be clever and popular or synthetically relevant or intellectually respectable or to make the gospel more acceptable. But most often God’s Word gets watered down by the preacher’s laziness. He simply will not do the hard work to engage and preach a text in its context.
