It’s Fall in Alabama, you can feel it in the morning but by afternoon it will feel like Summer again! Makes me miss my Ohio home… There is something about being able to discern the times by the trees that is comforting to me.

But we are in strange times. So many words being thrown around about God, faith, Jesus, and the Bible. Everyone is making claims about who’s in and who’s out, what’s true and what’s false, who’s good and who’s bad – it’s difficult for some of us to tell what’s what!

But we do have wisdom from the trees. Look at the leaves. Examine the fruit. These are reliable signs for us. We have credible witnesses. We can tell the seasons by the leaves and the trees by their fruit- there’s no need for mystery.

Jesus said it like this:

³³ “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. ³⁴ You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. ³⁵ The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil.

Matthew 12:33-35

We are in strange times indeed, but we can still tell a tree by the fruit it bears!

Good Morning, I love you all!
