A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit

Killing someone or attacking them verbally or physically because they don’t believe in what you believe is wrong (Romans 13:9-10; James 3:5-12). What is even more revealing is someone who claims to be of peace. But then if someone speaks out against what the person claiming to be of peace believes, they become violent and threaten to kill (Acts 9:19-25; John 7:25-26; John 8:42-59).

The Bible teaches “a tree is known by its fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20). A person may claim the tree in his back yard is a apple tree, but if you see walnuts growing on that tree, you will know your neighbor is not telling the truth or just crazy. Either way, it is a red flag, so give heed and watch that person (Colossians 2:8; Matthew 10:17; Romans 16:17-18).

Hope to hear from you or see you at the services.
