Augustine rightly said, 'Fear is the response of the human heart when its one thing is threatened.' God has blessed all of our lives with many good things. We are to enjoy them and acknowledge God in gratitude, but we dare not make these good things our 'one thing', for in doing so, they become idols in our hearts. Like Augustine said, when we foolishly make these good things our one thing, fear will result when they are threatened. As a matter of fact, fear, worry, and anxiety are a good indication that we have created idols and feel in danger of losing them. Therefore, Christ's goal is to pull our heart away from these false gods and place our heart on the true God. Do you remember how Jesus praised Mary over Martha? Why? Because she chose God as her one thing. 'But the Lord answered and said to her, ';Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things [and they were good things!]; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her ';' (Lk. 10:41-42). So when God is our one thing, we never need to fear because our one thing is never threatened nor will He ever be removed from our presence.

INSTRUCTIONS

There are 2 methods you could make tea the Indian way.  Boil water -
nothing is added till the water is boiling. Stop the heat source. Add tea
leaves and spices (I will give you a list of spices at the end). The tea
and spices are usually added to the boiling water in a Bone China tea
decanter. The decanter is then covered with a "tea cozy" for around 3-5
minutes (to allow the tea to brew). Filter into tea cups, add milk and
sweetener to taste. This is considered the sophisticated method and is used
for the more exotic tea leaves. Usually not many spices are added in this
type of preparation. By exotic I would say - Darjeeling varieties.
NOTE: For his 2nd way, see "Indian Milk Tea (Chai) #10".

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus holds the secret of answered prayer”

But what about love and loyalty when no one else seems to be hurt, such as premarital sexual relationships? Such an argument does not apprehend biblical love. Love is not simply the absence of obvious injury to anyone. For example, critical thoughts don’t victimize, but they are unloving and wrong. Defining love in terms of whether people get hurt misses the heart of biblical teaching. We may not automatically decide what form love takes. God tells us how to love. When we love on our terms rather than His, we are in sin. Even if our sin does not seem to hurt another human being, it is still sin. If sin were reduced to hurting others, then we could become morally perfect by isolating ourselves from all people. Sin, however, is not primarily a human-against-human action. It is human-against-God. God defines love as obedience to Him.
