In the process of striving to fulfill our needs and satisfy our desires, the church has slipped into a philosophy of “Christian humanism” that is flawed with self-love, self-esteem, self-fulfillment, and self-glory. There appears to be scant concern about worshiping our glorious God on His terms. So-called worship seems little more than some liturgy (high or low) equated with stained-glass windows, organ music, or emotion-filled songs and prayers. If the bulletin didn’t say “Worship Service,” maybe we wouldn’t know what we were supposed to be doing. And that reflects the absence of a worshiping life- of which a Sunday service is to be only a corporate overflow.

INSTRUCTIONS

"Augment your Far East platter with chic Vietnamese-style spring rolls
filled with rice vermicelli and vegetables. "The key to making firm spring
rolls is to keep the rice papers damp and pliable." Cook vermicelli,
uncovered, in boiling water 2 minutes or just until limp. Rinse in cold
water; drain well; chop into very short pieces. Combine vermicelli,
lettuce, carrot and peanuts. Combine cilantro, mint, fish sauce, oils and
red pepper; add to noodle mixture. Toss ingredients thoroughly. Pour warm
water into a large shallow dish. Dip 1 or 2 rice papers at a time into
water; gently shake off excess. Place between clean, damp 100% cotton
kitchen towels; let stand 10 minutes. Spoon 3 tablespoon of noodle mixture
onto one rice paper just below center of paper. Tightly roll filled rice
paper up from bottom, tucking in opposite sides as you roll. Repeat with
remaining papers and noodle mixture, covering rolls as you make them to
prevent drying. Combine hoisin sauce, plum sauce and 1/4 cup water. Spoon
over spring rolls to serve. Makes 16 rolls. Better Homes and Gardens, "Good
things in small packages", January 1998.
