MARINADE
SAUCE
ASSEMBLY
* Toast just until the odor of the oregano is noticeable, do not burn.
Oregano will begin to smoke lightly when ready.
** Mince the garlic, and saute it quickly in a very hot pan with as
little olive oil as possible.  Toast it until it's slightly browned. Remove
from heat and reserve.
Marinate the steaks in lime juice, water, and salt for 1 hour.
Sauce:
======
In a grinder or mortar, put the toasted oregano, bay leaves, allspice,
peppercorns, cumin seeds, whole clove, salt, coriander, cinnamon stick,
fresh garlic clove, and sugar.  Grind thoroughly then add toasted garlic.
Put the ground mixture in a saute pan and add 3/4 of a cup of water,
1/2 cup of red wine vinegar, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Assembly:
=========
Meanwhile, remove the steaks from the marinade, take off their skins,
cube, then pat dry.
Heat another saute pan, then add olive oil.  Put the swordfish into
the pan and saute until it has a light, golden crust.
Reserve the swordfish on a serving dish.
Pour the oil from the pan and deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup red wine
vinegar.  Add herb and vinegar sauce to deglazed pan and bring to a boil.
Add a touch of water if sauce becomes too thick.
Spoon sauce over fish and garnish with sweet onions and red chilies.
Serve at room temperature.

A Message from our Provider:

“You can fool yourself. You can never fool God”

If the aim of the church is to grow, the way to do it is to make people feel good. And when people discover that there are other ways to feel good, they leave the church they no longer need. The relevant church is sowing the seeds of its own irrelevance, and losing its identity to boot. The big question today has become how to get the baby boomers back, what techniques and methods will do the trick. Polls are taken on what baby boomers want and churches are competing to make sure they get it.

Carl Braaten

A spiritual war, however, cannot be successfully fought with fleshly weapons. Therefore, the weapons in Paul’s arsenal were not those of human ingenuity, human ideology, or human methodology. Human reason, wisdom, plans, strategies, organizations, skill, eloquence, marketing, religious showmanship, philosophical or psychological speculation, ritualism, pragmatisms, or mysticism are all ineffective weapons against the forces of the kingdom of darkness, the “powers…world forces of this darkness…[and] spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places' (Eph. 6:12). They cannot rescue sinners from the “domain of darkness” (Col. 1:13) or transform believers into Christ’s likeness. Such weapons gain only superficial, temporary, and deceptive victories at best.
