Parents must be aware of the personal value of truth for their own sakes and not just for the sakes of their children. We cannot simply make a child believe in a truth because it’s good for them. Their perceptive spirits will sense when we are doing something to engineer or manipulate a certain response. Instead it is the authenticity of parental commitment to truth apart from the lives of the children that brings freedom to share or pass on that truth to them. In other words, a mature motive for passing on truth is that as a parent I hold that truth to have value for my life, independent of my children and their response to it (Tom Cohen).

Makes 3/4 Cup.  Because it can be difficult to find kosher Hoisin sauce, 1
have managed to get a hold of a homemade version. The recipe is in two
parts. The azuki beans must first be cooked and pureed into a paste, then
the sauce made. Properly stored in a well sealed jar in the refrigerator,
this sauce will keep for months.
  UNSWEETENED RED BEAN PASTE:
1. Sort the beans and discard those that are broken and discolored. Rinse
the beans and place them in a saucepan. Add the water and bring to a boil.
Turn down the heat and simmer for 1 half hours, or until the beans are very
soft and the liquid has been absorbed.
2. Put the metal blade into the bowl of a food processor and pour in the
cooked beans. Process into a fine paste. The beans can also be mashed by
hand. This puree is now ready to use in sauces or sweetened for desserts.
Transfer to a clean jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator up to a
week or freeze for a month.
Sauce:
1. In a small saucepan, heat the oil and add the garlic and peppers. Stir
and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until the flavors are released
and the garlic browns slightly. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
2. Remove and discard the peppers. Add the bean paste. Stir until blended,
then add the remaining ingredients, continuing to stir until blended.
Simmer over very low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the sauce thickens
slightly.
3. Pour the sauce into a food processor and blend until smooth, or mash by
hand into a smooth paste. Pour into a clean jar with an airtight lid. Cover
and store in the refrigerator to use as needed.

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus: Gateway to the supernatural”

Here are some things which must be done before one leaves a church: 1. We must check our motives very carefully. 2. Our reasons must be well grounded and clearly articulated. 3. We must be in regular, earnest prayer about the matter. 4. We must guard our tongues very carefully. 5. We must be extremely careful that we do not unnecessarily create unrest in other members. 6. Our discussions with the leadership must be characterized by love. 7. Our attempts to correct matters must be with great respect, care and patience. 8. If our concern is over personal preferences, rather than biblical matters, we must consider others’ interests more important than ours. 9. Great care should be taken that we submit to the leadership of the church, unless we determine with proper counsel that there is a serious biblical issue at stake. 10. If the leadership will listen, we need to give them plenty of time to consider the matter. 11. If the leadership will not listen to us, or will not take proper action to correct the matter and we are thoroughly convinced that there is a serious biblical issue, we should ask for a meeting of the church in which to express our concerns. 12. We should ask ourselves what we have personally done to correct any wrong or deficiency in the church with which we are concerned. 13. We should evaluate if our leaving would do harm to an otherwise good church. 14. We should never leave, nor encourage others to leave, unless we are thoroughly convinced that one or both of the following conditions exist: 1) that the church has become an apostate church (where serious unbiblical teaching or practices are allowed), or 2) that we are convinced that, over the long haul, we cannot find a place to serve in the church, or that our families will not be spiritually fed in that body.
