When Christ is central in the heart of the man, what does the man want to do? He wants to tell others about Jesus, and he will do so effectively. Let Jesus Christ be central in the heart of a man, and he is going to be burdened and troubled because millions have never heard of Christ. It is going to disturb him and bring him into action. What he needs is not more exhortation; he needs Christ. And the Christ within him who died for the world will speak through him to that lost world. Without true passion for Christ, nothing works consistently. It loses its power.

INSTRUCTIONS

PREP: Peel and trim all vegetables; then cut as directed.
Oven : initial setting 400F.
1) In a large stainless-steel skillet, melt 1 tsp each butter and oil over
moderately high heat. Add onion and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally,
until the vegetables are browned all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer the
vegetables to a large roasting pan.
2) Add another 1 tsp each butter and oil to the skillet. Add the celery
root and butternut squash and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned
all over, about 10 minutes; transfer to the roasting pan.
3) Repeat the cooking processing to brown the acorn squash and parsnips.
Transfer to roasting pan.
4) Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Brown the mushroom caps, about 6
minutes; transfer to roasting pan.
5) Add broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer over high heat, scraping
up any brown bits. Pour the broth over the vegetables in the roasting pan.
Season with salt pepper and marjoram. Cover with boil and cook the
vegetables in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until just tender when
pierced. Increase the oven temperature to 450F and cook, uncovered, for 5
to 20 minutes longer or until gravy is at desired consistency.
