White Bean-and-herb Sandwich

On one side, the fear of the Lord does indeed mean a terror of God (threat-fear). We are unclean people, and we appear before the Almighty God who is morally pure. We are rightly ashamed before Him, and punishment would be completely just… But at the other end…is a fear reserved exclusively for those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ. This fear of the Lord means reverent submission that leads to obedience, and it is interchangeable with “worship,” “rely on ,” “trust,” and “hope in.” Like terror, it includes a knowledge of our sinfulness and God’s moral purity, and it includes a clear-eyed knowledge of God’s justice and his anger against sin. But this worship-fear also knows God’s great forgiveness, mercy, and love. It knows that because God’s eternal plan, Jesus humbled himself by dying on a cross to redeem his enemies from slavery and death. It knows that, in our relationship with God, he always says “I love you” first. This knowledge draws us closer to God rather than causing us to flee. It causes us to submit gladly to His lordship and delight in obedience. This kind of robust fear is the pinnacle of our response to God.

Date: Sat, 6 Apr 1996 17:51:11 -0600  From: joeanddi@aristotle.net (Joe
and Dianne Fago) Here's another  recipe from the Vegetarian Times
Special Issue 101 Low-Fat & Fast  Meatless Recipes.  It can be used for
a sandwich or cracker spread or  a dip with veggies. I made a double
batch, so that there would be  extra, and I'm glad that I did! After I
mixed it up, I thought that  it needed a little punch, so I added some
minced garlic. I'm bad  about adding garlic to everything that I can.
In a food processor, cimbine beans, parsley, chives, dill, salt,
pepper, cheese and lemon juice; process until smooth.  Spread mixture
on 4 slices of bread; top with cucumber, lettuce and sprouts. Top  with
remaining bread.  Makes 4 sandwiches.  Recipe from Vegetarian Times

261 cal., 12g  prot., 6g fat, 39g carb., 13mg chol., 558mg sodium, 8g
fiber. The fat  is incorrect, because I substituted nonfat cream cheese
for the  low-fat cream cheese or goat cheese that it origionally called
for.  FATFREE DIGEST V96 #96  From the Fatfree Vegetarian recipe list.
