Two-day Chili – We Love God!

The church is the new covenant community – “This cup is the new covenant in my blood” (Luke 22:20; 1 Corinthians 11:25) – we say when we take communion. The new covenant is the spiritual work of God to put His Spirit within us, write the law on our hearts, and cause us to walk in His statutes. It is a spiritually authentic community. Unlike the old covenant community it is defined by true spiritual life and faith. Having these things is what it means to belong to the Church. Therefore to give the sign of the covenant, baptism, to those who are merely children of the flesh and who give no evidence of new birth or the presence of the Spirit or the law written on their heart or of vital faith in Christ is to contradict the meaning of the new covenant community and to go backwards in redemptive history.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook brown rice and soaked beans in water to cover in crockpot set to
high (overnight).  In the morning, add saute'd veggies, canned
tomatoes and spices. Continue cooking on high (watch the water level)
until dinner for flavors to blend.  Serve over
rice/potatoes/tortillas, etc.  I made some black bean chili last week
(black beans, canned tomatoes,  saute'd onions and carrots, spices) -
from scratch - a crockpot full.  And added a "secret ingredient" -
brown rice, which I added when I  started to cook the (presoaked) beans
- overnight at high in the  crockpot. All my SAD friends who ate it
thought it was great, and  that it contained m**t (actually, no added
ft, no added m*t - just  what was in the rice, etc ;-)  Source:
