Name: Nov-Dinner: Two-Rice and Sweet Pepper Pilaf
Ingredients: 1 tb Butter; 2 Garlic cloves, minced; 1 Onion, chopped; 1/2 ts Dried thyme; 1/4 ts Pepper; 1 1/2 c Chicken/vegetable stock; 1 tb White wine vinegar; 1/2 c Wild rice, rinsed/drained; 1 c Long-grain rice; 1/2 Sweet red/yellow pepper, diced; 1/2 ts Salt

2 Peter 1:21 says, “Men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” The Greek word for “moved” is “phero.” It’s a verb that is translated “bring, carry or bear.” It’s the same word that used twice in Acts 27 –Paul’s famous voyage to Rome – of the ship that was at the mercy of the breeze being caried by the wind. It’s origin of the English name, “Christopher.” Christos (Christ) – Phero (Bearing) – Bearing Christ. So, this tells us that the men who wrote Scripture did not have heightened powers or mystical visions or even an ear for God to dictate His word. Rather, they wrote what they knew to be true using their own words, style, experiences and personalities, but as they wrote, the Holy Spirit (pheuma-the same Greek word used in the Bible for wind) was bearing them along. Therefore, when they wrote they wrote the very Word of God.

INSTRUCTIONS

Tip: While rice is cooking, do not stir it unless specifically stated in
the recipe - the grain's starch will be released and make the rice sticky.
In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; cook garlic, onion, thyme
and pepper, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add
stock, 1-1/4 cups water and vinegar; bring to boil.
Add wild rice to saucepan and return to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer
for 35 minutes. Stir in long-grain rice; cover and simmer for about 30
minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. With fork, stir in
sweet pepper and salt; cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

A Message from our Provider:

“Misunderstood? No one understands like Jesus”

God delights far more in His mercy than in His wrath. So in order to show the priority of His mercy, He must place it against the backdrop of His wrath. How could God’s mercy appear fully as His great mercy unless it was extended to people who were under His wrath and therefore could only ask for mercy? It would be impossible for them to share with God the delight He has in His mercy unless they saw clearly the awfulness of the almighty wrath from which His mercy delivers them.
