Provencal Vegetables With Goats’ Cheese Dressing

Sanctification, therefore, must be understood as being both definitive and progressive. In its definitive sense, it means that work of the Spirit whereby He causes us to die to sin, to be raised with Christ, and to be made new creatures. In its progressive sense, it must be understood as that work of the Spirit whereby He continually renews and transforms us into the likeness of Christ, enabling us to keep on growing in grace and to keep on perfecting our holiness.

4	oz	Broccoli florets
4	oz	French beans
4	oz	Mange tout

INSTRUCTIONS

To make the dressing, put the tomatoes in a bowl, cover with boiling
water for about 30 seconds then plunge in cold water. Using a sharp
knife, peel off the skins then roughly chop the flesh discarding the
seeds.  Put the tomatoes, goats' cheese, garlic, olive oil, lemon
juice, salt  and pepper in a food processor and blend the ingredients
together  until smooth.  Spread the pine kernels on a sheet of foil and
toast under the grill,  turning them frequently. Set aside.  In a large
saucepan of boiling salted water, blanch the vegetables in  batches
until just tender but still very firm to the bite. Allow  about 6-7
minutes for the broccoli, 5 minutes for the beans and 2  minutes for
the mange tout and courgettes. Remove from the pan with a  slotted
spoon and drain each batch of vegetables well.  To serve, pour the
dressing over the vegetables and garnish with the  pine kernels.

We cannot deceive God. Twice in the Acts God is called “the Heartknower” (Acts 1:24; 15:8). But we can deceive ourselves. Here are four differences between deceit and honesty in our hearts. One, a deceitful heart doesn’t know its sin because it doesn’t want to know. But an honest heart is saying, “Bring it on.” Two, a deceitful heart notices how well a sermon applies to someone else. But an honest heart is too concerned about itself to judge another. Three, a deceitful heart, when it isn’t growing, blames its inertia on hardship or its church or even on God himself. But an honest heart says, “It’s my fault. I need to get in gear.” Four, a deceitful heart delays response. It says, “I’ll get around to it, even soon. But I can’t right now.” An honest heart puts God first. Delayed obedience is a way of saying, “I’m setting the terms. I am Lord.” But an honest heart says, “Lord, whatever you want – right now.” An honest heart says, with the old hymn, 'The dearest idol I have known, whate’er that idol be, help me to tear it from Thy throne and worship only Thee.'
