Do you talk to others about our depraved nature and our desperate need for salvation in Jesus Christ? Do you say that you are no better than they are by nature; that we are all, apart from grace, sinners with a terrible record, which is a legal problem, as well as a bad heart, which is a moral problem? Do you talk to them about the dreadful character of sin; that sin is something that stems back to our tragic fall in Adam and affects every part of us, so dominating our mind, heart, will, and conscience that we are slaves to it? Do you describe sin as moral rebellion against God? Do you say that the wages of sin is death, now and for all eternity?

INSTRUCTIONS

Bring the stock to a boil; lower the heat to a simmer.  In a large, heavy
gauge saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.  Stir in the rice,
toasting just until it starts to sizzle and pop, about 1 minute.  It should
not color.  Add the sausage and garlic.  Stir, breaking up the meat into
small bits, until the sausage has lost its pink color, about 1 minute.
Pour in the wine.  Stir occasionally, cooking until the liquid is almost
gone, about 2 minutes.  Add just enough hot stock to cover the rice. Lower
the heat to maintain a vigorous simmer; stir occasionally.  When the liquid
is almost gone, add just enough hot stock to cover the rice, along with a
pinch of salt and cayenne.  Check the risotto every 3 or 4 minutes, giving
it an additional stir to make sure it isn't sticking to the bottom of the
pan and adding just enough stock to cover the rice when the liquid has
almost disappeared.  After  a couple of additions of stock, add the
broccoli raab.  Continue adding stock and checking until the rice is just
al dente, about 20 minutes total cooking time.  Bite into a grain; you
should see a small white pin-dot in the center.  Take the risotto off the
heat and stir vigorously for a few seconds.  Fold in the pepper, cheese,
and a pinch of salt if needed.  Stir in a few tablespoons of stock to
loosen the risotto, if you like.  serve immediately.

A Message from our Provider:

“No Brainer: Turn or Burn, Fly or Fry, Live or Die”

Our wills must be broken to His will. To be broken is the beginning of revival. It is painful, it is humiliating, it is the only way. It is being ‘Not I, but Christ,’ and a ‘C’ is a bent ‘I.’ The Lord Jesus cannot live in us fully and reveal Himself through us until the proud self within us is broken. This simply means that the hard unyielding self, which justifies itself, wants its own way, stands up for its rights, and seeks its own glory, at last bows its head to God's will, admits it’s wrong, gives up its own way to Jesus, surrenders its rights and discards its own glory – that the Lord Jesus might have all and be all. In other words, it is dying to self and self-attitudes.
