“Every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” John the Baptist, Luke 3:9
He looked like a crazy man living in the desert alone with God, eating locusts and wild honey, and having his loins gird about with camel’s hair. Who would ever believe this “strange man?” But he was the one that was sent to prepare the way for Jesus. After he preaches and tells everyone to repent and “bring forth good fruit,” they ask him, “What shall we do then?” John replies, “He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.” Luke 3:11 – The first fruit we should bear after receiving the Lord is to “give to the poor.” Very few churches preach this message today. They have a “form of godliness,” but deny the power thereof. But as soon as we accept the Lord, we are commissioned to “give.” Giving is showing the love, and “Love Is Something You Do.” Sherry
