INSTRUCTIONS

SLAW
SHRIMP
*(or 3/4 cup shredded coconut, preferably unsweetened)
1. To prepare the slaw: Shred the coconut and apples. Combine in a bowl
with the red pepper.
2. Add the cumin, lemon juice, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, garlic, oil,
salt and pepper. Toss well.
3. To prepare the shrimp: Shell, then butterfly the shrimp open by making a
deep cut on the top from head to tail; remove the vein. Season shrimp with
salt and pepper.
4. Grind nuts and flour until roughly chopped. Coat shrimp with nut
mixture.
5. Heat a heavy skillet on low heat. Add clarified butter and oil; melt and
combine. Turn up the heat to medium-low. Sear shrimp, turning once, until
golden and cooked through. (Do not let the pan get too hot as the nuts burn
easily.)
6. Serve the shrimp over the coconut slaw.

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus: so far ahead of his time that we’re still no closer to catching up”

An additional impetus to our unity among diversity is that of the projected makeup of the future kingdom. It is glorious in its admixture of those from “every tribe and tongue and people and nation” (Rev. 5:11). We cannot, must not, live contrary to our final convergence in Christ. In the ugly old slavery of early America, the schizophrenia about this was incredible. There were blacks and whites who would not dream of worshipping as equals (though they were sometimes in the same building), yet at the same time would hold the doctrinal verity that all colors would be in heaven together some day. This was entirely incongruous. We are called to experience in this life as much of the spirit that will characterize us in the new earth as is possible. The ideal of heaven is always to be the pursuit of earthbound believers. “Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matt. 6:10). We cannot pray for the Kingdom to come and not relish what that coming Kingdom means. Our community of believers is to be a living demonstration of the power of the cross and also of the purified Bride who awaits the wedding. We are denying our future calling to fail in this area. We are smearing our reputation and throwing dirt on our bridal gown.
