Matthew 12:33 How is your fruit?

Good morning everyone! Another great day to be alive in Jesus, our LORD and savior. Sorry to have missed you yesterday, a little internet problem. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

Matthew 12:33 "A tree is identified by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will be bad."

How is your fruit? How is your churches fruit? How is your preachers fruit? There is a lot of preaching out there, good news preaching, positive thinking preaching, feel better preaching, the name it and claim it preaching. Where is the old line Bible teaching?

Preachers who tell you God wants you to be rich have their own self-interest at heart. This is the "Christian Ponzi scheme." If a preacher spends a lot of time emphasizing giving, aka money and telling you God needs your help; he is saying "I need your money, send it now." God does not NEED your money. Everything is God's!

What fruit is coming from your tree? Your preachers tree? Last Sunday some friends visited with me at my Methodist Church. When service finished my friend said he almost came outside to see if we were Assembly of God; our preacher was preaching the word of Jesus Christ, the words of salvation. Isn't this what we are all supposed to do? Share the word of salvation. How is your fruit? Fresh and giving nourishment to others or old and rotting on the vine? Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
