Name: No-Fuss Beef Lasagna
Ingredients: 1 lb Lean ground beef; 1/4 ts Salt; 26 oz Prepared spaghetti sauce; 14 1/2 oz Canned diced tomatoes Italian-style, undrained; 1/4 ts Ground red pepper; 15 oz Part-skim ricotta cheese; 1/4 c Grated Parmesan cheese; 1 Egg; beaten; 10 Uncooked lasagna noodles; 1 1/2 c Part-skim mozzarella cheese (shredded)

The fundamental basis of all Christian missionary enterprise is the universal authority of Jesus Christ, “in heaven and on earth.” If the authority of Jesus were circumscribed on earth, if He were but one of many religious teachers, one of many Jewish prophets, one of many divine incarnations, we would have no mandate to present Him to the nations as the Lord and Savior of the world. If the authority of Jesus were limited in heaven, if He has not decisively overthrown the principalities and powers, we might still proclaim Him to the nations, but we would never be able to “turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God” (Acts 26:18). Only because all authority on earth belongs to Christ dare we go to all nations. And only because all authority in heaven as well is His have we any hope of success.

A Message from our Provider:

“A Clear Conscience Makes a Soft Pillow”

The revolt against hedonism has killed the spirit of worship in many churches. When you have the notion that high moral acts must be free from self-interest, then worship, which is one of the highest moral acts a human can perform, has to be conceived simply as duty. And when worship is reduced to a duty it ceases to exist. One of the great enemies of worship in our church is our own misguided virtue. We have the vague notion that seeking our own pleasure is sin and therefore virtue itself imprisons the longings of our hearts and smothers the spirit of worship. For what is worship if it is not our joyful feasting upon the banquet of God's glory?
