The early church
didn’t have fancy buildings. They hadn’t attended any church growth seminars.
All they had was a simple faith, a determination to serve God with absolute
abandonment, and a resolve to work together in unqualified unity to achieve the
purposes of God. That church grew from 120 to over 5,000 in a matter of days.
Their Christ-like character and their godly lifestyle allowed for the power of
God to flow through them in their message and their ministry. The fruit of their
lives bore the fruit of souls for the Kingdom of God. That’s the way it is meant
to work.
Today’s church is
different. We have beautiful church buildings. We have the New Testament
teachings in our Bibles. Workshops and seminars on how to grow a church and to
be effective in evangelism are available to us continuously. Still, when we look
at the impact of our lives and our churches we pale in comparison to that of the
early church fathers.
Fruit Loose and
Fancy Tree offers biblical truths and principles that, when applied, will align
our character and lifestyle with that of Christ’s. When we are consistent in the
application of these principles, the anointing of Christ will be released
through our lives to fulfill the purpose we have been given as a church. That
purpose is to bear spiritual fruit for the Kingdom and glory of God. We need to
forget the fancy and bear the fruit.
