Laws, commandments, rules, rebukes, fire and brimstone, judgment. No! none of these.
Our very first glimpse of God is an uninhibited flurry of artistic creativity. Displaying His invisible character with visible color, shapae, sounds and yes – flavors. He displays Himself to us in what is made, unveiling the secret parts of the heart so that we may love Him for who He is. How can we not fall in love with such a God?
God delights in creative expression. Genesis displays His pleasure in creating. Man also has a creative instinct. We can create poetry, painting, song and sculpture. Tangible expressions of the hidden human soul.
A global form of creative expression is food. A celebration of creativity, not hanging on some forgotten wall, but an offering of hospitality, leaving only dirty dishes and fond memories.
The painter has millions of hues available for palate and brush to unveil inner imagination. So too, the chef has been supplied infinite raw materials in creating culinary masterpieces that will intoxicate taste buds into a song of joy. A song joined by trillion of cells, nourished with food, filled with life.
Gray brick, sun-bleached plastic, billions of perfectly shaped sesame seed buns, huge boiling vats of oil, delicate flavors cooked to obscurity. Mono-fat taste, Babylon manna, apathetic taste buds controlled by craving and addiction. And trillions of cells cry in anguish and suffering under a diet of death. Worst of all, our eating no longer reflects the creative character of God, but the evil god of this world that dulls men’s minds abd hearts.
Come rediscover God’s banquet table. Food that will lead you to worship. Recipes that display the Father Heart of God. A variety of textures and flavors which remind you that God is not small and gray. No weightloss programs are needed. You will be blessed with health and vitality, for it pleases the Lord to bless you with all good things.
