Two-squash Gratin With Caramelized Onions

A man's willingness (or unwillingness) to come to the front of a church building says nothing about his willingness to come to Christ. Walking in front of a crowd has nothing at all to do with the conversion process, and we have no right to create such a false category of 'public declaration of faith' and thus pronounce the Biblical requirement fulfilled. We have every right indeed, we have divine right to require baptism as this outward and public profession of faith. And we have every right to expect that faith to continue to be evident in life. But the altar call is another matter entirely. It is an artificial, man-made requirement which, by virtue of its human origin, is a matter of no consequence whatever.

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Peel the squash with a
vegetable peeler. Halve the squash lengthwise, and remove the seeds
and pulp. Cut crosswise into 1/4" slices, and set aside.  Spray a 10"
skillet with cooking spray. Add butter, and melt over  medium heat.
Working in batches, add whole rounds of onion. Cover,  and cook over
medium-low heat, 12 - 15 minutes; sprinkle with salt,  pepper, and
sugar. Do not turn onion rounds over. Continue to cook,  covered, on
same side, until onions are golden and caramelized, 5 -  10 minutes.
Remove from heat, and set aside in pan.  Spray an 11-by-7 inch oval
gratin dish with cooking spray. Layer the  squash slices along the
bottom of the dish, alternating the two  colors. Sprinkle with half the
marjoram, thyme, bread crumbs, and the  salt and pepper to taste. Make
a second layer, alternating the two  squash with the onions. Pour the
chicken stock into the dish.  Sprinkle the remaining marjoram, thyme,
bread crumbs, and salt and  pepper over the surface. Sprinkle with the
Parmesan. Cover with  aluminum foil and bake until the squash is just
tender, 35 - 45  minutes. Uncover, and cook until the squash is very
soft and most of  the liquid has been absorbed, 15 - 20 minutes more.
Serve warm.  Recipe by: Martha Stewart Living Magazine, 10/97  Posted

[God] provided the revelation of truth because the Holy Spirit was behind the revelation, the truth which the believer could believe. Then the Holy Spirit convicted of sin. Then the Holy Spirit transformed the person and energized that person to be obedient to God, to love Him, to hate sin... Old Testament saints experience the presence of the Holy Spirit or they never would have been Old Testament saints but there is a fullness and a richness and a degree and a depth to which the new covenant believer experiences the Holy Spirit unknown to them. And it is a fullness, it is a gushing river from inside. And that's why...we're more like the transfigured Christ than we are the shining Moses.... What is the difference then between the Spirit's work in a New Testament Christian and an Old Testament Christian? The only answer I know is the degree is different, the extent is different, the manifestation, the fullness is different.
