[Our flesh] indicates that the essential way in which people are rebelling against God is that they are assuming that, like Him, they can make the decisions necessary for enjoying a fulfilled and happy future. The folly of this rebellion is that people think that they love themselves more, are wiser, and thus better able than the all-loving, omniscient, omnipotent God to provide for themselves the fulfillment they crave. Thus conversion, according to Jesus, reverses the act of the Fall and makes a declaration, not of independence from God, but dependence on Him.

INSTRUCTIONS

Place beans in a bowl and soak them in water overnight. Add water to
cover by 2 inches, as beans will expand about twice in size. Next
day, drain beans. In a very large flameproof casserole or stock pot,
cook bacon over low heat for 3 or 4 minutes. Add garlic, onions, leek
and carrot; cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add ham hock,
sausages, bay leaves, paprika and beans; add water to barely cover.
Bring to a boil, skim off the foam and fat from the top, reduce heat
and simmer, partially covered, on very low heat for about 2 1/2
hours, or until beans are tender and juicy. Add red bell pepper 5
minutes before the end of cooking. Remove ham hock and defat surface
of stew. Take off meat from ham hock and return it to the pan.
Discard bay leaves. Taste for seasoning. Serve warm, preferably from
a clay casserole. This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
