God's Word Is..... (Part #3)

God's Word Is...... (Part #3)

Today will be the final part in this short series on God's word.  We first learned that God's word is inside of us (click HERE to view that post), and last week we learned the "Dos & Don'ts" of God's word (click HERE to view).  And now we will learn the many, many details of what God's word is.

God's word is.....

- eternal (will never pass away)

- stored in heaven

- the beginning

- light

- joy

- flawless

- the Sword of the Spirit

- living & active

- like fire

- fulfilled (it will finish what God wants it to do)

- life

- truth:

God's word is ETERNAL

God's word is STORED IN HEAVEN

A few years ago we studied Psalm 119 and the Hebrew alphabet - the letter "Lamedh" details how God's word is stored in heaven (click HERE to read "Psalm 119 - LAMEDH")

God's word is the BEGINNING

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

John 1:1 

God's word is LIGHT

(click HERE to read "Psalm 119 - PE")

God's word is JOY

God's word is FLAWLESS

God's word is the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT

(click HERE to read "Becoming a Christian Soldier - SWORD OF THE SPIRIT")

God's word is LIVING & ACTIVE

"For the word of God is living and active.  Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow;  it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."  
Hebrews 4:12

God's word is LIKE FIRE

"Is not my word like fire,” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?"  

Jeremiah 23:29

God's word is FULFILLED (IT WILL FINISH WHAT GOD WANTS IT TO DO)

God's word is LIFE & TRUTH

God's word is everything and exactly what we need.

3 Simple Ways To Use Homegrown Chestnut Mushrooms

3 Simple Ways to Use Homegrown Chestnut Mushrooms

Last week I shared with you pictures of my bumper Chestnut mushroom crop.  This was my first time trying this variety of mushroom and I found three delicious ways to use them. (click HERE to view the Chestnut Mushroom post).

Adding to Pasta Sauce 

I began by chopping half of an onion.  Then, in a little olive oil (in a medium size frying pan) I sauteed the chopped onion with 2 cups of the Chestnut mushrooms for about 4 minutes.  Now, pour the sauteed mushrooms & onion into pasta sauce and warm.  Pour over your favorite pasta & ENJOY!

In a "Scramblette"

A "scramblette" is a scrambled omelette (click HERE to view how to make a Scramblette).  In this simple scramblette I added 2 cups of Chestnut mushrooms and half of a chopped, sauteed onion.  Final touch is to sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top & ENJOY!

Mushroom Gravy Over a "Yooper" Pasty 

(Meat Pie)

Finally, my favorite is to make my mushroom gravy recipe (click HERE to view) using Chestnut mushrooms and pour over homemade "Yooper" (somebody from the Upper Penninsula Michigan) pasty (recipe which I have not shared on this blog yet).

The Chestnut mushroom keeps it's firm texture even when cooked for a while and has a delicate nutty flavor.  ENJOY!
