What about cravings? The Bible understands them well. It refers to them as temptations. The Bible recognizes that people with years of sobriety often still struggle with huge temptations. Sometimes this is just a normal part of the slow process of change. Sometimes it is simply a consequence of being reminded of something we once loved. But at other times it can be a result of mentally cherishing and nurturing the addiction while physically abstaining from it. Instead of asking God for a desire to hate sin at its roots, some people cling to the pleasant memories associated with their addiction. They remember that they once had a potent escape, whereas now they experience the pain of facing daily problems.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut the lamb into serving sized pieces. Heat a large frying pan and add the
olive oil. Brown the cut-up pieces of lamb in two batches, on both sides.
Season to taste with the salt and pepper. Place the meat in a 6-quart
casserole along with the broth and wine, leaving the oil in the frying pan.
Reheat the frying pan and saute the garlic and onions until clear. Add the
remaining ingredients, except the final salt and pepper, and saute just
until the tomatoes cook down a bit. Add this mixture to the casserole,
along with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook
until the meat is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
Comments: Lamb was raised in Greece from prehistoric times and remains the
favorite meat of its people. The Greeks still have their own ancient
traditions of eating lamb. This is a very common way of serving the
favorite meat of Greece. Since it uses tomato we can assume the recipe is
rather recent, only about
400    years old.

A Message from our Provider:

“Moses was called \”God’s friend\”. Are you?”

God has so designed that children, in their formative years, naturally look to their [parents] in order to emulate them… "Mold me – impart to me what's most precious to your hearts." But so often a child sees behind all of the religious garb of his parents and finds what is really precious to them! He sees patterns of heart which lure them toward a pursuit of wealth, leisure, athletics, entertainment, television, shopping or religious busyness. A child can easily see when these things are more exciting to his parents than devotion to Jesus Christ! When this proves to be the case, a child will embrace those same affections – to the detriment of his own soul!
