Gold is not the less gold because mingled with alloy, nor light the less light because faint and dim, nor grace the less grace because young and weak. But after every allowance, I cannot see how any man deserves to be called “holy,” who willfully allows himself in sins, and is not humbled and ashamed because of them. I dare not call anyone “holy” who makes a habit of willfully neglecting known duties, and willfully doing what he knows God has commanded him not to do.

INSTRUCTIONS

PLANTAIN ROLL
FILLING (SOFRITO SHRIMP
Peel the plantains and cut each one into 4 parts. Place in a pot and cover
with water. Boil until tender. Reserve some of the boiling water when you
take the plantains out. Mash on a ricer or use the shredding knife from
your food processor. Add the garlic, oil, and salt to the mashed plantains,
working them in with a fork. If you need to soften the plantain, use the
reserved liquid. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Heat the olive oil and saute' all ingredients except shrimp, rum, tomato,
coriander, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and cook until they start
changing color. Add the rum and ignite. Remove from the heat and add the
rest of the ingredients. Season to taste. Spread the plantain mixture on
top of plastic wrap and form a rectangle. Put the shrimp mixture in the
middle and, with the help of the plastic wrap, roll at the same time,
pressing to pack the mixture and close the roll (sushi-like). Wrap the roll
in plastic wrap and let stand for a few minutes. Cut in 1" circles and heat
before serving with mirliton salad (optional). To heat: Put on a
pre-greased oven tray and bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 10
minutes.

A Message from our Provider:

“Life: the ball’s in your court. After death: it’s God’s turn”

In Jeremiah’s prophecy of the new covenant, Jeremiah explicitly says, “It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers, when I led them by the hand out of Egypt” (Jer. 31:32). How will it be different? For one thing, it will be unbreakable (v. 32). For another, all the members of that covenant will be regenerate, the law written on their hearts (v. 33). Yet another difference will be that the covenant will not operate according to natural lines of birth and descent, but through spiritual birth (vv. 29-30). Here the discontinuity between the new covenant and the Mosaic covenant is enormous: a covenant of grace, not works; a covenant that regenerates rather than kills; a covenant entered into through spiritual rather than natural birth. And yet for all this discontinuity, Jeremiah is clear that this new covenant is the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel, made to their forefather Abraham.
