I hate decorative teapots, to be quite frank what is the point of them?


Decorative teapots have no point, they do not serve the purpose that they have been created for - to be filled up with tea and to pour it out. They are a fancy, pretty looking waste of space, time, effort and should be chucked out onto the junk heap. Who gives a monkey if David Dickinson thinks it's pretty or well worth it! It's pap!

In the same way, I think we can be decorative teapots. We can look pretty and beautiful , but we've actually missed our purpose. We've also got to be filled up by God and his holy spirit and then pouring out, into those around us, our jobs and our community. A teapot that gets filled but never pours out will go stagnant and minging. A teapot that pours continually without getting filled will run out.

If you're a teapot where are you on the spectrum. Are you filled? Are you pouring? Or are you just a pretty looking thing that's sat on the side? What is your purpose and are you fufilling it? God Bless...
