Name: Portuguese Fisherman's Stew
Ingredients: 3 Onions, sliced; 1/2 ts Garlic, minced; 2 tb Margarine; 16 oz White Beans, drained; 2 qt Water; 2 Bay Leaves; 16 oz Chicken Stock; 16 oz Stewed Tomatoes; 1 1/2 ts Thyme; 1 lb White Fish; 1/4 c Lemon juice; 1/2 c Water

First, faith believes God when He says that sexual relations in marriage are good and clean and should be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. Second, faith increases the joy of sexual relations in marriage because it frees us from the guilt of the past. Faith believes the promise that Christ died for all our sins, that in Him we might have guilt-free, Christ-exalting sexual relations in marriage. And finally, faith wields the weapon of sexual intercourse against Satan. A married couple gives a severe blow to the head of that ancient serpent when they aim to give as much sexual satisfaction to each other as possible. Is it not a mark of amazing grace that on top of all the pleasure that the sexual side of marriage brings, it also proves to be a fearsome weapon against our ancient foe?... It is not surprising then that Satan’s defeat, Christ’s glory, and our pleasure should come together in this undefiled marriage bed.
