Summary of Principles for Christian Stewardship: 1. Giving is to be in proportion to wealth - 1 Cor. 16:2; 2 Cor. 8:3, 11, 12; 9:8-11 (precisely what percentage that might be is never stated by Paul). 2. Giving is to be regarded as a privilege; indeed, it is an act of worship and praise - 2 Cor. 8:4; Phil. 4:15-18. 3. Giving is to be voluntary, not forced - 2 Cor. 8:3,11-12; 9:5,7. 4. Giving is to be preceded by the dedication of oneself to the Lord's work in whatever capacity possible - 2 Cor. 8:5. 5. Giving is to be characterized by a spirit of reciprocity - 2 Cor. 8:13-15. 6. The administration of Christian giving should take into consideration the principles [of integrity] that governed Paul's approach to the collection [he assembled] - 2 Cor. 8:16-24. 7. Giving is to be characterized by forethought and prayer - 2 Cor. 9:7. 8. Giving must never be characterized by sorrow over money lost or by covetousness - 2 Cor. 9:5, 7. 9. Giving should always be cheerful and joyous - 2 Cor. 9:7. 10. Giving should not be undertaken with a view to personal enrichment; rather, one should give with the expectation that God will supply the giver with abundance for additional giving - 2 Cor. 9:8-11. 11. All giving is to be understood as finding its source, power, and pattern in the grace of God in Christ - 2 Cor. 8:1,9; 9:14-15.

INSTRUCTIONS

To prepare greens, strip leaves from each stem. Submerge leaves in  a
sink full of cold water, swirl gently, then allow to rest briefly  on
the surface before lifting out of water to drain. Repeat with  fresh
water until no dirt remains in bottom of sink. Stack leaves in  piles
and chop into bite-sized pieces.  2. In a 2 or 3 quart saucepan or deep
skillet, combine greens with  thyme, onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms,
beans and stock. Bring to a  boil, cover, and reduce heat to
medium-low. Simmer until greens are  tender, about 10 to 20 minutes
depending on greens. Season to taste  with salt or miso and pepper.
Dissolve miso first in a small bowl of  the hot soup liquid before
adding to the soup. Stir in lemon juice.  Simmer 5 to  Variation1:
Puree half the beans before adding to soup for a creamier  consistency.

The glorious good news of the gospel is that the sin-devastated relationship between lost sinners and the holy God can be restored. That at first glance seems impossible. God’s perfect, infinite, righteous justice demands the punishment of all who violate His law. Standing before the bar of His justice are helpless, guilty sinners, unable either to satisfy God or to change their condition. But through God’s plan of reconciliation all the hostility, animosity, and alienation separating the Holy One and sinners vanishes, and those who were once His enemies become His friends. The high calling and noble privilege of preaching this message of reconciliation is the most important duty in the world, since it deals with eternal destinations.
