There is a threefold distinction between [divine punishment and divine chastisement]. First, the character in which God acts. In the former God acts as Judge, in the latter as Father. The second distinction…lies in the recipients of each. The objects of the former are His enemies. The subjects of the latter are His children. A third distinction is seen in the design of each: the one is retributive, the other remedial. The one flows from His anger, the other from His love.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large pot, cook bacon over medium heat until browned and crisp,
about 3 minutes. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to a piece of
paper towel to drain. Discard all but 2 tsp of fat from pan. Add half
of the chicken and brown well, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a
plate and repeat with remaining thighs.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add onions to pan. Cook, scraping up
browned bits at bottom of pan, until onions are browned and beginning
to soften, about 4 minutes. Add apple juice, apples, mustard,
vinegar, thyme, salt, pepper and reserved bacon and chicken thighs to
pan. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring
occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center, 20 to 25
minutes.
In a small bowl, stir cornstarch together with 2 tsp water; stir into
sauce. Cook until sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
