[Paul’s] thrice-repeated prayer for the removal of the ailment was answered, not by his deliverance from it, but by his receiving the necessary grace to bear it – not simply to live with it but to be thankful for it. If his ministry was so effective despite this physical weakness, then the transcendent power was manifestly God’s, not his own. Infirmities like this were welcomed, together with the other hardships…if they were the condition on which the power of the risen Christ operated through him. They constantly reminded him not so much of his own inadequacy as of the total adequacy of Christ, in whom, when he was personally most weak, he knew himself to be most strong.

Trim pork of fat and cut in 2" x 1/4" strips.  Coarsely shred the spinach
leaves, removing tough stems. Drain water chestnuts. Core and chop the
apple. Spray nonstick skillet with vegetable cooking spray; stir fry pork
strips until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside; keep warm. In
large serving bowl, toss spinach, watercress, celery, grapes, green onion,
water chestnuts, and apples; toss to mix. In a small saucepan, combine
salad dressing, white wine, mustard, and brown sugar; heat just until brown
sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Stir cooked pork into hot dressing
to coat well. Remove pork; pour half of the dressing over greens mixture in
bowl; toss well. Place pork strips on top of salad. Sprinkle with sesame
seeds. Pass remaining dressing.

A Message from our Provider:

“Actions DO speak louder than words. Do Jesus’?”

Christians can be and ought to be content with the simple necessities of life… First, when you have God near you and for you, you don’t need extra money or extra things to give you peace and security… God is always better than gold… Second, we can be content with the simplicity because the deepest, most satisfying delights God gives us through creation are free gifts from nature and from loving relationships with people. After your basic needs are met, accumulated money begins to diminish your capacity for these pleasures rather than increase them. Buying things contributes absolutely nothing to the heart’s capacity for joy… Third, we should be content with the simple necessities of life because we could invest the extra we make for what really counts (God’s kingdom).

John Piper
