No church has a choice about obeying Christ, therefore our church must practice church discipline. But there is also beauty and value in disciplinary action that we may not immediately see. It is beautiful because it is about love. Our discipline toward a professing Christian in sin may be the most loving act he has ever experienced. However uninviting or difficult discipline might be, and however severely we must act, God has made church discipline valuable because it will either produce a holier life or a holier church, or both, when carried out obediently and harmoniously (Jim Elliff and Daryl Wingerd).

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Thinly slice the potatoes and cover with water to remove the starch.
Meanwhile, slice the bacon into thin strips. In a large Dutch oven, melt
the butter over moderate heat. Add the bacon and onions, and saute until
the onions have become translucent. Add the garlic, bay leaf, thyme and
chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Drain the potatoes and add to the boiling
mixture, stirring so the potatoes don't stick to the bottom. Cook about 10
minutes, then salt and pepper to taste. Remove the garlic and bay leaf.
Place in an ovenproof casserole large enough to hold the potatoes and
remaining liquid. Cover with the grated cheddar cheese. Place in the
preheated oven and bake 20 to 30 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
