Southwestern Rice & Pinto Bean Salad

July 16, 2012 Reasonable Recipes Tim Jennings, M.D.

This salad is an easy, colorful side dish which provides good flavor and protein. It can be paired with roasted vegetable to complete the meal.

Cream Of Asparagus Soup

March 12, 2012 Reasonable Recipes admin

Pureeing an aromatic rice adds a delicate flavor and creates a creamy, non-dairy base for this soup. May be served without blending for a heartier texture. I found it delicious either way!

Southwestern Fruit Salad

March 12, 2012 Reasonable Recipes admin

Jicama (pronounced “hick-a-ma”) is a root vegetable that looks similar to a turnip. Jicama is a good source of fiber and its crunchy texture works well in salads.

Savory Oat Groats And Kale

March 5, 2012 Reasonable Recipes admin

Oat groats are the whole kernels of oats. They are sweet with a moist but chewy texture, almost meaty. It may seem different eating oats for lunch or dinner but you’re going to love them in this dish! So filling and delicious!

Maple Millet Delight

February 20, 2012 Reasonable Recipes admin

Millet is delicious in this sweet breakfast treat. Eating a hearty breakfast helps to curb the urge to snack, prevents irritability and fatigue and helps to stabilize blood sugar levels. Don’t skip breakfast!

Roasted Vegetables and Chickpeas

February 13, 2012 Reasonable Recipes admin

Roasting brings out the sweetness and boosts the flavor of hearty veggies in this filling dish.

Papya French Dressing

February 6, 2012 Reasonable Recipes admin

This dressing surprised me with it’s unique combination of flavors. It’s very creamy, yet light and delicious! Try it over a plateful of tomatoes or tossed with baby field greens. Feel free to experiment with basil, cilantro or other herbs in place of the thyme.

Three Bean Chili

January 30, 2012 Reasonable Recipes admin

Cumin and paprika add earthy flavor to this marvelous meatless chili. Serve with a hearty salad and corn bread or corn muffins. This is one of my favorite meals!

Cucumber And Mint Salad

January 23, 2012 Reasonable Recipes admin

This simple salad is light and refreshing! Serve it with your favorite soup or try spreading hummus in a toasted whole wheat pita and then stuff the pita with the salad. So delicious and very satisfying!

Peanut Butter Cookies

January 16, 2012 Reasonable Recipes admin

A teenage house guest of ours sampled these and exclaimed, “Mmmm! These taste just like the ones my Grandma used to make!”

Lentil & Bulgur Soup

January 9, 2012 Reasonable Recipes admin

Simple yet substantial, this warming soup combines vegetables with whole-grain bulgur and fiber-rich lentils for a hearty main course. Serve with a big salad and toasted pitas. The recipe says it serves 4, but I have to double it to serve 4 in my house!

Homemade Nut Milk

January 2, 2012 Reasonable Recipes admin

Homemade nut milk is heavenly and so easy to make. Almond is the most commonly used nut because of its mellow flavor. But do experiment with other nuts and seeds, just keep in mind that the milk will retain the distinct flavor of the nut or seed used.

Testimonials

Testimony 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into "Healing the Mind" information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the "Healing the Mind" lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say "Thank You!" My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

Testimony 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read 'The Journal of the Watcher' book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

Testimony 44

We were given a gift of the DVD set, "God and Your Brain," and we just finished watching it. The truths in this are so powerful and truly an answer to a prayer. We're seeing hope where once we thought God wasn't answering our prayers to be free of certain mindsets. He answered with these DVDs and we are hungry for more. Thank you!

Daniel T., Easley, SC, USA

Testimony 26

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

I really enjoy with you the view of a gracious God. Thank you for sharing the work you are allowing the Lord to do in you.

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Testimony 63

I've been very blessed by "The God Shaped Brain" and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It's truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.

Michael V., Yonkers, NY, USA

Testimony 40

I was brought up in a different faith and have been petrified my whole life of God. I believed that I would burn in hell for eternity. When I was 12 I started pursuing the things of this world, but for the next 45 years the Spirit was always calling me, as I knew there was a God through nature. I could see the vast sea of stars in the universe and knew there was something bigger out there. Five years ago, through a Revelation seminar, I was blessed to learn about God's character and government.

Then I found Come and Reason Ministries and have come under some extreme pressure when I speak about the ministry. One time a member sent me an internet article titled "Whats wrong with Tim Jennings?" I asked her what she thought of it and she said "I don't know, I didn't read it."

I have always wanted to find out for myself the truth about God, so I stayed with the Design Law construct and have been liberated to understand the big picture. Once we consider Design Law, all other Bible stories and prophecies seem to fit perfectly. It is truly beautiful to see people grasping how God operates this Universe of Love and the liberation it has provided in their lives. It blows my mind to see how consistent Design law is with what our founders believed. I hear statements like "This makes so much sense."

Testimony 22

I have found your Bible study class lectures to be very inspiring and useful as I prepare to teach class every other week. I subscribe to the podcast and download your notes on the weeks I teach. The audio and notes are such a great help in preparing. My own understanding of God’s character has grown as I teach the class. Commendations on the thought-provoking and well-prepared material Come and Reason provides. Personally, I get excited by the tie you make between the spiritual and mental/physical domains.

Testimony 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don't know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins - it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your "Healing the Mind" seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the "real" God more.

Testimony 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, "Could It Be This Simple," and then found "The God-Shaped Brain" videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the 'Come And Reason' mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called "judgment of God" and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. "What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe..."

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God's healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don't be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!

Testimony 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn't for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, "Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!" My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of "repent or burn" towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won't reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

Testimony 15

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

Testimony 51

I Love This Ministry!!!!!!! I see first hand how this message is desperately needed, how erroneous beliefs about God and His Character negatively affect humanity at every level. I thank God for your ministry, as I was searching on my own and was discovering some of your same beliefs and was blown away when I found your ministry. I know you hear it all the time, but it is truly life changing. May God continue to reveal His Will to you and Bless you!

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

Testimony 34

I was introduced to Come and Reason Ministries by accident, via a passing comment made in a bible study class we were visiting. I checked this website out and my life was changed. The understanding of the truth of God's character, and how we apply it, is so right. The tricky part is consistently applying which "lens" to look through. As I began to understand, I started sharing the basics of this understanding with a discussion group I was leading and, suddenly, a lot of things started to make sense that never used to. At the same time, I enjoyed an amazing opportunity. I was able to conduct a full bible study at WORK! What an amazing experience! It is such a joy to share the truth about God and to share how it all fits in the war between God and Satan. So many people benefit when we have a correct understanding about how God works and who He really is! Thank you for this transformational understanding. Keep up the good work! God Bless you!
