“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”- John 15:5,8
We will bear fruit (fact). There is no way around it. Good fruit or bad fruit, one way or the other it will happen. Many times in my life I have “played the game” acting as if I was perfect while living a life of sin in secret. The fact is there is no secret. Your fruit will show. Maybe for a season we can snow someone, or trick a group of people into believing our actions are pure at heart. The catch is God knows and in time your fruit will show and everyone else will as well. So guys, lets plant good seeds and bear good fruit. The time is NOW! No more games! Lets serve God wholeheartedly and enlarge the Kingdom!

His Voice
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
— John 3:17 (NIV)
I believe many people walk around feeling unworthy or condemned because of the things they have done. They hear people around them talk a/b forgiveness and freedom but don’t understand it. For me to fully understand the truth I had to comprehend the fact that GOD came to this Earth as a man. He could have rode in on chariots, appeared in full glory, or appeared as a King of a nation. Jesus could have showed up as a full grown, full of knowledge, prominent being, but he didn’t. Jesus showed up as a baby. He was birthed just like me and you! If you study the scriptures and the time frames there was around a 400 year silence in between the last time God spoke to the World, and the moment he was born as a man. In Old Testement times he used prophets. New Testement times he came as Jesus. So God broke the silence to HIS PEOPLE, after hundreds of years in a powerful, relevant, real way, CRYING!!!! The first thing that came out of the mouth of the God who spoke the World into existence was the cry of a child! Broken, scared, and unable to take care of Himself. Guys that it how we must go to HIM. Broken and crying. He showed us the way from His very first words as a human. We are not condemned. We are saved by faith through grace. We are SAVED through HIM! I love you Jesus..!!!
