Okra Casserole

5 God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend. 

6 For to the snow he says, 'Fall on the earth,' likewise to the downpour, his mighty downpour. 

7 He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he made may know it. 

8 Then the beasts go into their lairs, and remain in their dens. 

9 From its chamber comes the whirlwind, and cold from the scattering winds. 

10 By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen fast. 

11 He loads the thick cloud with moisture; the clouds scatter his lightning.

Best Chicken Parmesan Ever

4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious,

5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

6 For it stands in Scripture: "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame." 

7 So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone," 

8 and "A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. 

1 Peter 2:4-8

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.
