Psalm 115:1-3

To Your Name Give Glory

    [1] Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory,

        for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

    [2] Why should the nations say,

        “Where is their God?” 

    [3] Our God is in the heavens;

        he does all that he pleases.

1/4 c olive oil

5 T sugar

Add 2 T of yeast to 1.25 cups of warm water. Whisk 5 T of sugar and 1/4 c olive oil.  Let sit for 5-10 minutes.

Add 3.75 cups flour, 1-1/2 t salt, and 1 egg. Mix with a spatula and then place onto a parchment sheet on counter.  Knead with your hands until you have a smooth ball of dough. Add additional flour if it's sticking to your hands.

Sous Vide Cuban Mojo Pork Slices

 

 

1 Peter 2:13-16

[13] Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, [14] or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. [15] For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. [16] Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.

1 The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD. 

2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the spirit. 

3 Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established. 

4 The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble. 

5 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the LORD; be assured, he will not go unpunished.

6 It has been testified somewhere, "What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him? 

7 You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor, 

8 putting everything in subjection under his feet." Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. 

9 But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. - Hebrews 2:6-9

14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. - Hebrews 2:14-15

Cuban Spiced Chops

23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,

24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."

25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."

26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

Cuban Roast Beef for Sandwiches

4 Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.

5 For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Ephesians 5:4-6

CUBAN DRY RUB

12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.

14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.

15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.

16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised.

17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.

18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

19 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.

22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.

24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power.

25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

27 For "God has put all things in subjection under his feet." But when it says, "all things are put in subjection," it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him.

28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.

1 Corinthians 15:12-28

2 T cumin 

2 T paprika

2 t garlic powder

1/2 t crushed red pepper
