I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the law. The law is the needle, and you cannot draw the silken thread of the gospel through a man's heart unless you first send the needle of the law to make way for it. If men do not understand the law, they will not feel that they are sinners. And if they are not consciously sinners, they will never value the sin offering. There is no healing a man till the law has wounded him, no making him alive till the law has slain him.

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

Although this is not absolutely authentic, it's quick (unlike most Indian
dishes), and easily made for a delicious approximation of the real thing.
Adding the optional ingredients helps the flavor, but a quick-and-dirty
onion-garlic-curry powder-ketchup-chick peas version isn't too bad, either.
Fry the onions in oil at medium-high heat until golden and translucent,
2-3 minutes. Add garlic, fry for a minute. Add cinnamon, cloves and
cardamom, fry for a minute (until the kitchen begins to smell really
good!). Now add the curry powder to the onions, fry for a minute or two. As
the mixture begins to stick, add the ketchup to make it more pliable. Keep
on frying for about 5 minutes, stirring fairly constantly. Once this "base
masala" is ready (one hint is if the oil starts separating from the
mixture), just add the chickpeas, including the water they are in. Stir to
mix, heat until it boils, then cover and lower the heat to medium-low. Cook
for 15 minutes, take off heat and stir in coriander leaves. Serve hot, with
heated pita, tortillas, Indian bread (roti, naan or puri) or rice.
NOTE: McCormick's or other American "curry powder" just isn't as good as
the powder you can find in Indian stores. In case you are finicky and an
Indian store isn't easily available, a fair approximation can be made with
1/2 tsp. corinader, 1/2 tsp. cumin, 1/2 tsp. turmeric, 1/4-1/2 tsp. hot
chile powder.

A Message from our Provider:

“Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your front door forever.”

The problem is that many people cling to the symbol but never understand the reality it is intended to represent. Most likely, tens of thousands of people have 'invited Christ into [their] hearts,' thinking that a mystical experience is what saves them. Then, they go on their merry way, living their lives as they did before. If you were to ask them, 'How do you know that you are going to heaven?' they would respond, 'Because I invited Christ into my heart.' But if you probe, there is nothing beneath the shallowness of that reply. They did what someone told them to do, but never really embraced the Savior.
