Peppers Stuffed With Spiced Cheese

What can you do Saturday evening and Sunday morning and on the way to church [to prepare]… for hearing the Word of God preached? 1. Pray that God would give you [a] good and honest heart (Eze. 36:26; Jer. 24:7). 2. Meditate on the Word of God. Read portions of your Bible with a view to stirring up hunger for God. 3. Purify your mind by turning away from worldly entertainment (Jas. 1:21). 4. Trust in the truth that you already have (Jer. 17:7-8). 5. Get a good night’s rest on Saturday night. 6. Forebear one another [before the service] without grumbling and criticism. 7. Come in a spirit of meek teachability (Jas. 1:21). 8. Be still as you enter the room and focus your mind’s attention and heart’s affection on God (Psm. 46:10). 9. When the worship service begins, think earnestly about what is sung and prayed and preached (1 Cor. 14:20; 2 Tim. 2:7). 10. Desire the truth of God’s Word more than you desire riches or food (Psm. 19:10-11; Pr. 2:3-5).

INSTRUCTIONS

SERVINGS LACTO  When entertaining, I like to make a platter of these
delectable  stuffed peppers using various colors (green, red, yellow
and purple)  for a beautiful presentation.  In medium skillet, heat oil
over medium heat. Add onion and cook,  stirring often, until soft,
about 5 minutes. Add coriander and cumin  and cook, stirring
constantly, 1 minute. Add tomato and herbs and  cook, stirring
occasionally, until liquid evaporates, 5 to 6 minutes.  Stir in ricotta
cheese and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until  mixture is lightly
browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.  Preheat oven to 375
degrees.  Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Fill
each  pepper half with a generous portion of cheese. Transfer to baking
sheet. Bake until peppers are tender and filling is heated through,  20
to 25 minutes.  To serve, cut stuffed peppers in half lengthwise again.
Garnish with  sprigs of fresh herbs.  PER 3-PEPPER SERVING: 125 CAL.;

[Children] cannot bring themselves up properly. This cannot happen because God says “foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child” (Prov. 22:15), and that “a child left to himself, a child who gets his own way bring shame to his mother” (Prov. 29:15). Scripture thus asserts that if you allow a child to bring himself up, if you raise him in an atmosphere of complete freedom, if you allow him to make all his own choices, to do his own thing, to express himself freely, the result will be shameful. God never intended children to bring themselves up. He gave them parents who are to be actively engaged in making the children what God wants them to be.
