Every temptation is a kind of test, but not every test is a temptation. Tests and temptations have different purposes, and they come from different places. Tests are designed to show what someone can do. Their purpose is positive, which explains why God himself tests people, as he tested Abraham (Heb. 11:17). A test is a trial posed by God to prove the strength of our faith. Temptations, on the other hand, are more negative. Their explicit purpose is to entice people to sin, which is why they come from the Evil One. A temptation is a trial posed by Satan, with the wicked hope that we will fail.

INSTRUCTIONS

Use  two  brew kettles. In the first, add 4 gallons  water,  honey,  and
ginger. Maintain at 180 degrees for 45 minutes. While first pot is heat-
ing,  add  malt extract to 3 gallons water in the second pot.  Bring  to
boil. Add 1 ounce of Brewers Gold to boil for 45 minutes. Add 1/2  ounce of
Northern Brewer at 30 minutes. When second pot is removed from  heat, add
1/2 ounce of Saaz hops and steep. Combine pots, cool, and pitch.  I
also brewed a second batch with the same procedure, except that I used 8
pounds of honey instead of 4, 1/2 ounce of  Northern Brewer hops replac- ed
the 1 ounce of Brewers Gold, and 1/2 ounce of Galena replaced the 1/2 ounce
of Northern Brewer. Six ounces of ginger seems about right to give a nice
balanced  flavor. The ginger was grated in food processor, but it had to
struggle as  the ginger tends to break up into strands that get stuck in
the blades.  (I did not peel the ginger). This beer had an amber color and
all  flavors were readily apparent---hops, malt, ginger, and light honey.
The  color was a medium amber shade. Original Gravity: 1.051
