The right stuff

If you drink tea-not iced tea, you know that hot tea is good. Not just good but great with sugar and milk. I was informed that you can't add half and half to your tea-add milk. Why you say? The half and half curdles in the tea the milk doesn't and half goes great in coffee-not the non-dairy-YUK- stuff! But in tea,No. In life there are some things that are acceptable for the believer.there are some things that aren't and cause growth problems. In the church today, Christians are finding it difficult to find that happy medium in what is permissible and what is not. There is no "happy medium" . The main reason is people don't look to the Word of God for answers and direction in this arena. We either follow what His Word says or we don't. When we try to add our own stuff we end up with a mess. The children of Israel tried to save the manna when God told them to eat what was necessary and leave the rest-what happened? It rotted and turned rancid-unfit for digestion-why? Because they thought ahead of God and compromised-Disobedience. When drinking in the tea of life, using the right ingredients can make the experience more enjoyable.

Keep Hope Alive.

The viscous differences of coffee and tea have an affect on their interaction with half & half.

The message of duality doesn't seem to digest well in a realm of greed, self-serving, idolatry, and pride.

Tea is Good, But I prefer Coffee, because I cannot stand powdered creamer.
