The Law of the Tea Bag

Loading player...

Many Christians do not understand the Law of the Tea Bag. Hot water does not introduce or create the taste in the cup, it merely draws out what is inside the tea bag. Trials are like hot water: they don't introduce it into our lives, but they draw out of us what is inside us. One of the most glorious examples of the beauty and perfection of Christ is to see how He responded in His sufferings and agonies on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. In this account of the betrayal, trial, and denial, we see what happens when you add hot water to Jesus Christ. Specifically the hot water of betrayal , trial and denial.

What does it mean to believe?

About 35 years ago, a controversy broke out. The controversy was around what it means to believe. The one side said that belief is simple, childlike agreement and trust that Jesus is your Saviour. The other side said belief is a wholehearted surrender to Jesus as Saviour and Lord. Here…
