Name: Coq Au Vin
Ingredients: 1/4 lb Bacon; 3 lb Frying chicken; cut up; 1/2 ts Salt; 1/8 ts Pepper; 1/4 c Cognac; 3 c Burgundy wine; 1 1/2 c Chicken stock; 1/2 tb Tomato paste; 2 Cloves garlic; mashed; 1/4 ts Thyme; 1 Bay leaf; 1 tb Flour; 2 tb Butter; softened

No one, not even the unredeemed, are ultimately outside the will of God (Pr. 16:4; Rom. 9:14-18; 1 Pet. 2:7-8). They are not forced to be lost, but choosing to reject God’s offer of mercy does not somehow free them from the control of God. Even their rejection has been included in the eternal plan of God. This is perhaps the worst part of it for them. In their attempt to be free from God by rejecting Him, even if at the cost of their own souls, they find that there is no such thing. The net of God’s providence includes even the vain attempt to be outside the net.
