Name: Texas Hash (Slightly Adapted)
Ingredients: 1 lb Ground beef (we also sometimes use ground turkey); 1 sm Onion, diced; 1/2 Sweet green pepper, diced; 1 sm Can tomatoes (we like to use the Ro-Tel tomatoes and green chilies here); 1 c Cooked long-grain rice (or more, depending on how much you want/need to stretch it); 1/4 ts Chili powder (we use lots more, plus a healthy shot cumin); Salt to taste

A paradox is an apparent contradiction. Grace and truth aren’t really contradictory. Jesus didn’t switch on truth, then turn it off so He could switch on grace. Both are permanently switched on in Jesus. Both should be switched on in us… Truth without grace breeds a self-righteousness legalism that poisons the church and pushes the world from Christ. Grace without truth breeds moral indifference and keeps people from seeing their need for Christ. Attempts to “soften” the gospel by minimizing truth keep people from Jesus. Attempts to 'toughen” the gospel by minimizing grace keep people from Jesus. It’s not enough for us to offer grace or truth. We must offer both.
