Roasted Sausages With Onions, Green Olives And Chianti

Those who are truly sent by God...are marked by the fact that they are faithful to the message of the Gospel, exalting the Lord Jesus Christ, proclaiming to men the good news of salvation through Him, and bidding men to turn from their sins and come to Christ as Savior and Lord. They back all of their proclamations by the authority of the Bible, the Word of God, and they call Christians to lives of holiness while they themselves are living examples of holiness. Unless a man is divinely sent to preach the Word, his ministry will be ineffective to produce faith and life in those to whom he ministers. God must do the sending. I always tell young men who ask me about entering the ministry that they should never become ministers if they can possibly help it. If a man could be satisfied as president of the United States, as president of a bank or a college, as a pitcher for a big-league ball team, or in another position of honor or distinction, he has not been called to the ministry. God has not sent him. When God sends a man there is a yearning, churning, burning inside him. Like Paul he must cry, “Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel” (1 Cor. 9:16). This must be the heart feeling of everyone who has been sent with the Gospel.

INSTRUCTIONS

Note: See the "Tapenade (Black Olive Paste)" recipe which is included
in this collection.  Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large 12- to
14-inch saute pan, heat  virgin olive oil until smoking in thin wisps.
Add onions and cook over  medium heat until very soft and light brown
at the edges, or about 10  minutes. Add olives, red wine and fennel
seeds and simmer at low heat  5 minutes until alcohol is cooked out of
wine, yet mixture is still  very wet. Prick sausages all over to
prevent them from bursting.  Place on top of wine and onion mixture and
place on rack in oven and  roast until cooked through (about 15
minutes). Remove pan from oven  and pour onion mixture in a large
heated serving bowl. Arrange  sausages over top. Drizzle 1 tablespoon
Tapenade over each sausage  and serve immediately. This recipe yields 4
entree or 8 appetizer  servings.  Recipe Source: MOLTO MARIO with Mario

The problem here is the obvious lack of understanding of the infinite nature of sin as contrasted to the infinite righteousness of God. If the slightest sin is infinite in its significance, then it also demands infinite punishment as a divine judgment. Though it is common for all Christians to wish that there were some way out of the doctrine of eternal punishment because of its inexorable and unyielding revelation of divine judgment, one must rely in Christian faith on the doctrine that God is a God of infinite righteousness and well as infinite love. While on the one hand He bestows infinite grace to those who trust Him, He must, on the other hand, inflict eternal punishment on those who spurn His grace.
