Zingerman’s Ann Arbor Mushroom And Barley Soup

Let us look at our lives in the light of this experience [in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10] and see whether we gladly glory in weakness, whether we take pleasure, as Paul did, in injuries, in necessities, in distresses. Yes, let us ask whether we have learned to regard a reproof, just or unjust, a reproach from friend or enemy, an injury, or trouble, or difficulty into which others bring us, as above all an opportunity of proving how Jesus is all to us, how our own pleasure or honor are nothing, and how humiliation is in very truth what we take pleasure in. It is indeed blessed, the deep happiness of heaven, to be so free from self that whatever is said of us or done to us is lost and swallowed up in the thought that Jesus is all.

When I first heard about Ari Weinzweig's delicatessen in Ann Arbor,
Michigan, I couldn't believe it. A deli in the home of my alma mater.
It's not really a deli but more of an international food emporium  like
New York's Zabar's with a definite Jewish touch. Mr. Weinzweig,  a
drop-out Ph.D. candidate, has taken an academic and appetizing
interest in updating Jewish recipes like mushroom and barley soup,
going back in history to the nineteenth-century Eastern European
version similar to that served at New York's Second Avenue Deli.  Soak
the mushrooms in enough hot water to cover for a half hour.  Strain
through a filter. Reserve the water. Coarsely chop the dried
mushrooms. Melt the margarine in a stockpot and sautÃ© the onion,
celery, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, carrot, garlic, and fresh
mushrooms until soft, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat and add the
flour, stirring every 30 seconds for about 5 minutes or until thick.
In a soup pot heat the broth or water. Add a cup of mushroom mixture
at a time to the pot, stirring. Turn the heat to high, and add the
reserved mushroom water and barley. Stir well and add salt to taste.
Simmer, covered, for about an hour or until the barley is tender and
the soup is thickened, stirring often. Add additional chopped  parsley,
mix thoroughly, and adjust seasonings.  Yield: 6 to 8 servings (P) or

No one who believes in the Bible disputes the fact that election is taught there. It isn’t the reality of election, or even its source, author, time, or goal that has elicited so much venom among professing Christians. It is rather the basis of divine election, that is to say, why and on what grounds some are elected to salvation and life and others are not. There are essentially only three options, the first of which is more pagan than Christian. 1. It has been argued that God elects those who are good. In this view, election is a debt God is obliged to pay, not a gift He graciously bestows. It is on the basis of inherent or self-generated righteousness that God elects men and women. This is the doctrine of Pelagianism, named after the British monk Pelagius who popularized the view in the fifth century. One would be hard-pressed to find an advocate of this perspective within the professing Christian church. 2. Others contend that God elects some who are bad who, notwithstanding their being bad, choose to exercise faith in Jesus Christ. It is on the basis of this foreseen faith that God elects them. This is the doctrine of Arminianism, named after the Dutch theologian James Arminius (1560-1609). It has also been called Wesleyanism because of the influence of John Wesley. 3. There is the view that God elects some who are bad who, because of their being bad, are not of themselves able to exercise faith in Christ. It is on the basis of His own sovereign good pleasure that God elects them. This is the doctrine of Calvinism, named after the French theologian John Calvin (1509-1564).
