Nam Jim Satay (peanut Sauce)

The fall of man has created a perpetual crisis. It will last until sin has been put down and Christ reigns over a redeemed and restored world. Until that time the earth remains a disaster area and its inhabitants live in a state of extraordinary emergency. To me it has always been difficult to understand those evangelical Christians who insist upon living in the crisis as if no crisis existed. They say they serve the Lord, but they divide their days so as to leave plenty of time to play and loaf and enjoy the pleasures of the world as well. They are at ease while the world burns.

A peanut dressing accompies these snacks. This is my favorite
variation. If you have red or massaman curry paste that is preferred,
but you can use curry powder to taste if you prefer. Also you can if
you wish use peanut butter rather than fresh peanuts.  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. Posted to KitMailbox Digest

And what is the prescribed response? Is it to walk down an aisle? Is it to fill out a card, or to lift up a hand? Is it to make an appointment with a preacher, or to decide to be baptized and join the church? While any of those things may be involved, none of them necessarily is. The response of the Good News – the message that Paul preached and other Christians preached throughout the New Testament – is to repent and believe. Once we’ve heard the truth about our own sin and God’s holiness, about His love in sending Christ, and about Christ’s death and resurrection for our justification, then, as instructed by the first words of Jesus recorded in Mark’s gospel, our response is to “Repent and believe the good news!” (1:15).
