Ingredients: 8 sl (each about 4" by 3" by 1/2" thick) country-style bread, toasted and each cut in half; 1 Garlic clove; cut in half; 1 lb Ripe plum tomatoes (about 5 medium), seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces; 4 oz Ricotta salata* or feta cheese, cut into 1/2-inch pieces; 2 tb Extra virgin olive oil; 1 tb Finely chopped red onion; 1 tb Chopped fresh basil; 2 ts Balsamic vinegar; 1/4 ts Salt; 1/4 ts Coarsely ground black pepper

Why are we experiencing such an epidemic of open- and not-so-open- sin in the church today?… [Because] we have promoted a “gospel” that says it is possible to be a Christian while stubbornly refusing to address practices or behaviors we know are sinful. We have accepted the philosophy that it’s OK for Christians to look, think, act, and talk like the world. We have made it an offense to admonish people about their sin, either privately or, when necessary, publicly. If only we were as loath to commit sin as we are to confront it!
