Stuffed Peppers In Walnut Sauce

So what did the Holy Spirit intend by His command not to be bound together with unbelievers? Bound together translates a participial form of the verb heterozugeo, which means, “to be unequally yoked.” Paul drew his analogy from Deuteronomy 22:10, where the Mosaic Law commanded the Israelites, “You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.” Those two animals do not have the same nature, gait, or strength. Therefore it would be impossible for such a mismatched pair to plow together effectively. Nothing in the context would lead to the idea that he is referring to earthy issues of human endeavors. In Paul’s analogy, believers and unbelievers are two different breeds and cannot work together in the spiritual realm. He called for separation in matters of the work of God, since such cooperation for spiritual benefit is impossible. The false teachers were eager to blend the people of God with the pagan worshipers, because that hinders the gospel. That is what this text forbids.

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the peppers under a hot grill, turning them round as the skins
blister.  Remove each pepper when it is ready and cover with a damp
tea-towel  for 10-15 minutes. This helps to steam them and to flavour
the flesh.  Peel off any burnt skin you can.  Cut off the stalks by
cutting around them with a sharp knife and then  remove the seeds.
Stuff each pepper with 2 tablespoons of Picadillo. Close the opening
and secure if necessary with a cocktail stick or two. If the pepper
breaks anywhere else, hold it together with more cocktail sticks.
Arrange the peppers on a bed of shredded lettuce.  Mix together the
walnut pieces, ground almonds, cream cheese, cream,  lemon juice and
salt. Pour this mixture over the peppers and decorate  with pomegranate
kernels, if desired, and strips of canned red  pepper. Serve cold with
white rice and salad.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Converted by MM_Buster

What does in mean to be spiritually poor? It means to be humble. It means to understand that you have no merit to offer to God. It means to understand that all you deserve is hell. It means to understand that you are spiritually bankrupt. It means to understand the unfathomable riches of Christ that by God’s sovereign grace have been accredited to your account. It means to boast not in yourself, but in Christ. It means emptying yourself of all your pride that the Holy Spirit might fill you with all of Christ… The humble pursuit of spiritual poverty is the path to true happiness. Empty of self, filled with the Holy Spirit and His fruit of joy.
