Pursuing holiness in today’s cheap-date, hookup world requires tremendous courage and other-worldliness. Long make-out sessions (and more) is not the way for young men to treat “younger women as sisters, in all purity” (1 Tim. 5:2). If you might not marry the one you are dating, why do all sorts of stuff with someone else’s future spouse, stuff you will have a hard time forgetting once you are married yourself? And if you are on your way to marriage, instead of acting more married than single, consider getting married sooner so you don’t have to act single any longer.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9- by 9- by 2-inch square baking
dish. In a large skillet, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions
and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ground beef and continue to cook for
3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the diced meat and continue to
cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Season
with salt and pepper. Stir in the tomato paste. Stir in the tomatoes and
stock. Simmer the mixture for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove
from the heat and cool. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of the chili mixture
on the bottom of the prepared pan. Lay two tortillas on top of the chili
mixture. Sprinkle the top of the tortillas with the Cheddar and Jack
cheeses. Repeat the layering process until all of the chili, tortillas and
cheese are used. (The final layer should be cheese.) Place the pan in the
oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove
from the oven and cool slightly before slicing. This recipe yields 6
servings.

A Message from our Provider:

“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”
