These next postings are from a Message I preached on the Family. I hope they are an encouragement to you. Growing Trees for God
Luke 6:43 - 45
“For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt Fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good Fruit”
“For every Tree is Known by his own Fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.”
“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.”
Proverbs 20:11
“Even a Child is Known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.”
Introduction:
“....is Known...” present tense - What others are seeing at the present time.
* A Tree will produce another tree with the Same Characteristics and Fruit as they are.
Example: An Apple Tree will Produce and Apple Tree (Red Delicious - Red Delicious)
* Thought: A Parent will produce a Child with the Same Characteristics and Fruit as they are.
* Each Tree and Person will bear Fruit - that has different Characteristics in and of its Self.
* The Fruit with different Characteristics has a Seed that is able to Produce another Tree after its own Kind. (God Design and Plan)
* Question # 1 - What type of Trees (Children) are you Growing?
* Question # 2 - What kind of Fruit are they bearing? “A Child Is known by their doings (Fruit)”
* A Parent’s Goal (should be) for their children is to live a Godly and righteous life that bears evidence of a Holy Spirit Controlled life.
Galatians 5:22-23
“But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
