A few words to those among us who have homosexual desires: 1. Acknowledge the presence and pain of a disordered sexuality, with all the ambiguity of where it came from – much like other disorders and disabilities – and do not define your God-given personhood by your disordered sexuality. 2. Put your faith in Christ alone for the forgiveness of all your sins and for the gift of God’s righteousness and for the fulfillment of all his promises to you (Romans 1:16-17). The only sinner who can successfully battle his sins is a justified sinner. In other words, you fight against sexual sins from relationship, not for a relationship. 3. Begin to reorder your entire life around the centrality of the glory of God as your highest treasure. Homosexual sinning, like all other sinning, is an echo of exchanging the glory of God for other things. So restore the sun of God’s glory to its place at the center of your soul and all the planets of your desires will begin to return to their God-given orbit. 4. Resolve to live a chaste and, if necessary, celibate life by the power of God's Spirit, with the confidence that if God does not heal now, he will in the age to come; and all the patience of purity of will be worth it (Romans 8:18). May God grant all the single people (and married!) at Bethlehem a passion for purity. 5. Seek wholesome friendships with both sexes, especially in groups… The more we do things in groups rather than pairs, the more opportunities we create for wholesome non-sexual relationships. 6. …There are ministries like Outposts here in our cities that have insights and experience and encouragement and Biblical counsel from a depth of awareness that goes beyond what most of us can bring. This may be something God would use in your life. 7. Take a bold and compassionate stand for truth…and hold up God’s purposes for human sexuality, namely, as an expression of Christ’s love for the Church dramatized in the covenant love of marriage between one man and one woman.

INGREDIENTS

1	lb	Phyllo pastry
2		Chicken breasts
2	tb	Butter
2 1/2	tb	Flour
1	ts	Curry powder
1	c	Milk
1/2	ts	Salt
1/2	c	Chopped walnuts
1/2	lb	Unsalted butter; melted (2 sticks)

INSTRUCTIONS

Thaw the phyllo dough overnight in the fridge, if frozen. Bake the chicken
breasts in buttered aluminum foil in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes.
Unwrap and cool. Remove skin and bones (unless you buy skinless/boneless
like I do--cause I'm a wimp), and cut meat into small pieces. Heat 2 tb.
butter in small pan. Add flour and curry powder and cook over low heat 2
minutes. Add milk and whisk until thick. Season with salt, stir in walnuts
and chicken. Cool completely. Now for the hard part--best done with a
helper...but I did it on my own..
To assemble, melt and cool butter. Place 1 sheet of phyllo on flat surface
and brush with butter. Top with 2 more sheets buttering each. Cut sheet in
half lengthwise then cut each half crosswise into 6 equal parts. Spoon a
teaspoon filling onto end of each strip and for a triangle by folding right
hand corner to opposite side as you would a flag. Continue until every
strip is used. Repeat until all filling is used. Make sure you cover the
pastry when you aren't used it--just a dish towel will work. Preheat oven
to 400. Place triangles on buttered sheet. Brush with butter and bake until
golden brown--about 10 minutes.
You can vary the phyllo ingredients--spinach and cheese makes a good veggie
alternative. You can keep this in the fridge, unbaked for 2 days, or you
can bake them and then freeze them. I made mine the day before and left
them in the fridge. Then I baked them right before the guests arrived. They
make great leftovers too.
