The excellence of the Apostles' evangelism was found in the reality that they were “filled with the Spirit” (Ac. 4:7). That means they were bold, self-controlled, gentle, fearing God and not man, peaceful, faithful and wise – ultimately demonstrated by making the discussion not about themselves, but rather Jesus Christ. They drove the conversation to the tip of the spear, displaying the highest good and greatest love possible, by proclaiming their Savior and the desire for evil men to be saved. For them, it wasn’t about winning approval or even an argument for their own glory, but winning lost souls to Jesus Christ.

3	tb	Olive oil
2	tb	Pine nuts; toasted
2	lg	Garlic cloves; minced
		Salt and pepper; to taste
1		French bread loaf; baguette
		Roasted red peppers

INSTRUCTIONS

In food processor, blend olives, olive oil, pine nuts and garlic. Season
olive paste to taste with salt and pepper. Place bread slices in single
layer on baking sheet. Bake in 350 deg. F. for 10 minutes, or until lightly
toasted. Spread olive paste on toast. Top with roasted pepper pieces.
Season with freshly ground pepper. Serve immediately.
NOTES : Made for Superbowl '98. Made the spread up the day before. The
garlic mellowed out overnight, could maybe use more. For best results
purchase the bread the day you intend to use it. If you can't, slice it the
day you buy it because it drys out very fast. This could be used as a pasta
sauce if the olives were coarsely chopped.
