We are told men ought not to preach without preparation. Granted. But, we add, men ought not to hear without preparation. Which, do you think, needs the most preparation, the sower or the ground? I would have the sower come with clean hands, but I would have the ground well-plowed and harrowed, well-turned over, and the clods broken before the seed comes in. It seems to me that there is more preparation needed by the ground than by the sower, more by the hearer than by the preacher.

First grind or crush the peanuts to a fairly fine powder.  Then combine
them with the remaining ingredients (except the lime juice), to form a
smooth sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with a little
chicken stock. Now add the lime juice, tasting as you progress to check the
balance of flavors is correct. Note use red curry paste with beef or pork
satay, Massaman with chicken. If you are doing shrimp satay then use half
the quantity of Massaman paste. Colonel Ian F. Khuntilanont-Philpott

A Message from our Provider:

“Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisers”

Surely Paul could have made the gospel more palatable – and less dangerous – by saying it was about something else. Something cleaner and less ridiculous than the cross. Something more glorious. Less disgusting. He didn’t do that, though. “I decided,” Paul said, “to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2). In the face of the worst cultural prejudice imaginable, he fixed the entire gospel squarely and immovably on the fact that Jesus was tacked to a stauros and left to die. If he had been trying to find a surefire way to turn first-century people off from his “good news,” he couldn’t have done better than that! So why did he do it? It’s simple. He did it because he knew that leaving the cross out, or running past it with a glance, or making it peripheral to the gospel, or allowing anything else to displace it at the center of the gospel would make it, finally, no gospel at all.
