Sin, a little thing? Isn’t it poison? Who knows its deadliness? Sin, a little thing? Don’t little foxes spoil the grapes? Doesn’t the tiny coral insect build a rock which wrecks a navy? Don’t little strokes fell lofty oaks? Won’t continual droppings wear away stones? Sin, a little thing? It girded the Redeemer’s head with thorns, and pierced His heart! It made Him suffer anguish, bitterness, and woe. If you could but weigh the least sin in the scales of eternity, you would fly from it as from a serpent, and abhor the least appearance of evil. Look upon all sin as that which crucified the Savior and you will see it to be “utterly sinful.”

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

To make the pilaf, combine the vegetables in a heavy frying pan. Cook for
about 5 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly, until the scallion
wilts.
Add the lentils, stock and garlic. Stir. Bring to a boil over medium heat,
then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the black
pepper and parsley. Take care not to overcook; the lentils should have a
crunch.
While the lentils simmer, bring to a boil enough water to fill a shallow,
flat-bottomed baking dish about halfway.
When the pilaf is done, transfer it to four 4-ounce custard cups. Place the
cups in the baking dish to keep warm in the hot water while you cook the
scallops.
Preheat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the scallops and cook
for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add the wine and cook for another 2
minutes.
To serve, unmold each cup of pilaf in the center of a dinner plate.
Encircle it with scallops and garnish with chives.
