What does that title mean? To me it means everything pertaining to Godliness. Matthew 13 is the clearest image for me in regards to a person who truly is saved, will bear fruit. Some people bear fruit that is 30 times as much, some 60, some 90, and some 100 times as much. The seed goes into the body and soul, and then bears fruit!!!
Tonight was a night where I saw many prayers answered and my heart bursted with joy. 1 Peter 1:8 "Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory..."
I was invited to an international event that is put on by a parachurch ministry that seeks to get students from overseas connected with the American culture in Christian circles. Stereotypes about religious endeavors are handicapped here because Christians are Christians, not church-goers. Fruit is ready to be born.
My mind cannot break the difference between my times overseas and the missions trips I have ventured out to do, and my duty to obey Christ here.
This blog is intended to encourage others as I walk. I have found frustration in living for myself, and want to live my life for the joy of others as I long to be with Christ. Paul says, "If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me Phil. 1:22. I choose to live for this labor that bears fruit. I EXPECT fruit to be born!
