Today, the pressure to fill auditoriums and services has driven many pastors to place the felt needs, or tastes, of the people above their duty to Christ. On every hand we hear of the Gospel being molded into a non-confrontative message intended to meet felt needs and impress the sinful heart. And, by most standards, this new philosophy of church life is working, as more and more auditoriums are filled with people hungry for a message that will affirm that they are actually on fairly good terms with the Almighty. But the biblical message is the message of the cross. It cuts right across the grain of the modern age's preoccupation with pride, tearing down the façade and exposing the wretchedness of the human heart… Unfortunately, while the modern “un-gospel” may fill seats, it is the true gospel of sin and grace that is “the power of God unto salvation” (Rom. 1:16).

INGREDIENTS

42	oz	Beef tenderloin
4	oz	Goose liver; sliced
1	lb	Puff pastry
1	oz	Truffles
1	lb	Fresh mushrooms; chopped OR
1/2	lb	Mushrooms; canned

INSTRUCTIONS

Roast the tenderloin approximately 10 to 15 minutes in the oven for medium
rare. Put meat back into the icebox and chill until cold. Roll 4/5 of the
puff pastry approximately 1/4" thick until it is 1-1/2 times the dimension
of the beef. Saute mushrooms in butter and spread on the puff pastry. On
top of the mushrooms, place beef. Place goose liver over the beef and then
the truffles. Roll the puff pastry into a mound and close with egg mixture
(1 egg, mixed with salt, and beaten). The egg mixture is used like glue and
is applied with a brush. With the rest of the pastry, make a design on top.
Put the Wellington on a tray and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Place in the oven for 20 minutes at approximately 400 degrees. Serve after
20 minutes. If you do not serve immediately, the beef will continue to cook
from the steam in the pastry shell.
