Matthew 7:17-20

John Nunnikhoven

So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.

How do I recognize a good orange vs. one that is not fit to eat? By its color, aroma, firmness and condition of the skin. How do I recognize the fruit of the Spirit? Humm, maybe by living according to Philippians 4:8 as I apply the template of Galatians 5:22? Maybe it would be a good idea to ask a brother or two to hold me accountable?

Today's readings in the Psalms:
