Name: Oysters in Spicy Black Bean Sauce
Ingredients: Bite-sized oysters; shucked, retaining their "liquor" after straining; Garlic; Peanut or other hi-heat oil; 1 tb Prepared black bean sauce (or mashed and soaked fermented black beans); or so; "heat" to taste (red pepper flakes; Cayenne powder, or finely chopped hot chiles of your choice)

Of late, I have heard things that I never dreamed of before, alleged even by professedly Christian ministers against the fundamental doctrines of God’s Word; and some have even dared to say that the substitution of Christ, His suffering in our stead, was not just. Then they have added that God forgives sin without any atonement whatever; but, if the first be not just, what shall I say of the second? If God continually forgives sin without taking any care of His moral government, if there be nothing done for the vindication of His justice, how shall the Judge of all the earth do right? Then the very foundations of the universe would be removed, and what would the righteous do? Depend upon this, whatever modern philosophy may say, “Without shedding of blood there is no remission of sin,” that is to say, without an atonement and an atonement consisting of the giving up of a life of infinite value, there is no passing by of human transgression.

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus: so far ahead of his time that we’re still no closer to catching up”

Christ has ascended upon high. Think you He would have returned thither with unexpiated sin red upon His garments? Do you suppose He would have ascended to the rest and to the reward of an accomplished work? What! sit at his Father’s right hand to be crowned for doing nothing, and rest until His adversaries are made his footstool, when He has not performed his Father’s will! Absurd! Impossible! His ascension in stately pomp, amidst the acclamations of angels, to the enjoyment of His Father’s continued smile, is the sure proof that the work is complete.

C.H. Spurgeon
