The fundamental problem in the evangelical world today is not inadequate technique, insufficient organization, or antiquated music and those who want to squander the church’s resources bandaging these scratches will do nothing to staunch the flow of blood that is spilling from its wounds. The fundamental problem in the evangelical world today is that God rests too inconsequentially upon the church. His truth is too distant, His grace too ordinary, His judgment too benign, His gospel too easy, and His Christ is too common.

INSTRUCTIONS

The Sept., 1997, issue of Bon Appetit arrived today -- and there was a
recipe from Terra Bistro in the Vail Athletic Club that caught my eye.
Cook lentils and split peas in large pot of boiling salted water until very
tender, about 35 min. Drain.
Heat 1/3 c oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and
garlic and saute until onion is translucent, about 5 min. Add turmeric and
cumin and stir 1 minute. Transfer mixture to processor. Add lentils and
split peas, cilantro, lemon juice, chili poder and remaining 3 tbls oil.
Process until smooth. Season generously with salt and pepper. Transfer to
medium bowl. Serve with pita bread.
Can be prepared 1 day in advance: cover and refrigerate. Bring to room
temperature before serving.
