Two Trees
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
Life and Message
Patience. Fruit only comes one season per year, wait for it.
The inward can be hidden until people begin to do something, to produce something, then it can be seen.
Beware of pretending. Imitating a Spirit filled, fruitful life.
To produce good fruit a tree must give of itself. Selfishness and self-centeredness are key to being unfruitful.
Oswald Chambers, “Pious pretense is a desperately sincere effort to be right when we know we are not.”
