I don’t even know how to thank you for this message. From today it’s redefined my relationship with God. I feel set free from something that wasn’t even an issue, but I know now my ideas matter to God more than I thought. And I can be his friend. Thank you.
I ❤ the way you preach, and your imagination when you think about Biblical conversations and stories... It reminds me of how my imagination works, too.
Read Bruce Wilkinson’ Secrets of the Vine. In that book, the author says, he met a man in California who owned a vineyard. That man explained to him that the verse you quoted about taking away branches that don’t bear fruit, as if the branches were destroyed, is a poor translation. The same word in the original language is translated elsewhere in the Bible as “takes up” or “lifts up.” The author had asked the man what they do with grape vines that aren’t producing fruit, and he replied they ware way too valuable to throw away and that those immature vines growing along the ground producing only leaves not fruit are picked up off of the ground (lifted up) and attached to wooden stakes, so that they can no longer grow along the ground. They are pruned so they will bear fruit. Not cut off from the body as if worthless for not being perfect.
I’m wondering if those two seeming opposed statements are mutually exclusive. I think they can both be true. Definitely going to get that book though! Thanks for sharing❤
The individual who has put his trust in Jesus Christ as his Savior is in personal fellowship with Him all the time. Jeremiah 23:23 The problem with God is not that He's so far away that we can't see Him. Rather, He is so close that we overlook Him. That means, you can have an Conversation with GOD anytime anywhere . The eternal purpose of God in Jesus Christ is to give us this new relationship with God (John 3:16; 6:37, 39; 2 Corinthians 5:14-21). 1Corinthians 3:16-20 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
Read 1 Chronicles 28:19 The temple of David that was built by Solomon was still God’s idea. Not David’s own idea and then God chose it to honor him as his friend. I also believe God calls us as friends. I’m just fact checking! I respect anyone’s passion for the kingdom of God and His people, so just trying to be helpful!
Read this, 1 Chronicles 28:2, “Listen to me, my fellow Israelites, my people. I had it in my heart to build a house as a place of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, for the footstool of our God, and I made plans to build it.
I love this message! One of my big takeaways was: Listening to the Spirit is the beginning of life but friendship with the Spirit is maturity in life.
Thank you for watching!

I like this, but what about the "thrown into the fire and burned" part?
He wasn't talking about low growing branches. The runners on strawberry plants have to be cut off if you want a lot of strawberries.
Glory

1 Chron 17:2 David thought in his heart to build, Nathan said ok
This man is about to be exposed. God knows about his foolishness. His acting is going to crush him. He not funny. God is going to close this house.
Why do you say that?
