Name: Kumquat Compote with Sauternes And Ginger
Ingredients: 1/2 c Plus 2 tablespoons Sauternes or Late; ; Harvest Riesling; 1/2 c Sugar; 1/2 c Water; 6 Whole cloves; 1/2 Vanilla bean; split; 1/2 lb Kumquats; quartered; ; lengthwise, seeded; 1 tb Finely chopped crystallized ginger

If any (or almost any) approach to God is as good as another, how do we make sense of the Bible’s insistence on monotheism, its consistent rejection of all forms of idolatry, and the missionary impulse — that the nations would turn to the true God — running from Genesis to Revelation? Most crucially, pluralism cannot do justice to the privileged place the Bible gives to Jesus Christ. Every knee must bow before Him. He will judge all peoples. The God of the Bible, revealed as Yahweh in the Old Testament and incarnated at Jesus Christ in the New, is nothing if not a universal God who accepts no rivals. To reject the unique person and work of Jesus Christ is to make an utter mockery of the Bible. To reject His claims is to reject God Himself and to steal from Him the glory that is rightly His. Ultimately it is to turn one’s back on the Bible and on the God of the Bible.
