The Bible does not deal specifically with abortion. For that matter, it does not deal specifically with infanticide, the killing of babies. Nor does it talk about parricide, fratricide, uxoricide (killing of one's wife), nor genocide (the killing of a whole race). Examples of such crimes are mentioned, but not singled out for special treatment. In fact, the Bible does not even discuss suicide (self-killing). There are specific provisions against homicide – the deliberate taking of human life (“killing” or “slaying” is the usual expression). The Bible prohibits the taking of innocent human life. If the developing fetus is shown to be a human being, then we do not need a specific commandment against feticide (abortion) any more than we need something specific against uxoricide (wife-killing). The general commandment against killing covers both.

POACHING LIQUID
LEEKS

>From Abby Mandel. Special to the Tribune. (Copyright) 1997, Abby Mandel.
This style of poaching vegetables in a flavorful court-bouillon, known as a
la grecque, did originate in Greece although now it's identified with
French cuisine.
1. For poaching liquid, put ingredients in 10-inch, non-aluminum saute pan.
Heat to boil over high heat; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.
2. For leeks, place in hot liquid. Place a piece of parchment paper or foil
directly over leeks. Simmer over medium heat until barely tender (test with
tip of sharp paring knife inserted into white part), about 5 to 8 minutes,
depending on size of leeks. Do not overcook. Let leeks cool to room
temperature. Transfer to a container. Strain poaching liquid; drizzle a few
tablespoons over leeks to keep them moist. Store remaining liquid in
refrigerator up to 3 days or in freezer as long as 3 months to use again
for other vegetables.
3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Garnish with choice of herbs. Serve
chilled or at room temperature.

A Message from our Provider:

“I don’t know why some people change churches; what difference does it make which one you stay home from?”

Nor is it that a believer’s single gift will be restricted to only one category of giftedness. An individual gift may include a number of specific areas of giftedness, in a limitless variety of combinations. Someone with a major gift of administration may also have something of the gifts of helps and of teaching. Believers’ gifts are like snowflakes and fingerprints – each one is completely distinct from all others. Some teachers may emphasize knowledge, some instruction, some mercy, and others exhortation. From the palette of gift colors the Holy Spirit uses the brush of His sovereign design to paint the mixture of each believer so that no two are like.

John MacArthur
