Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

"And how from infancy your have know the Holy
Scriptures, which are able to make you wise
for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus."
(2 Timothy 3:15)

Walk With C. S. Lewis

"The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is
to hand over your whole self--all your wishes and
precautions-- in Christ.
"But it is far easier than what ware all trying to do
instead. For what we are trying to do is to remain
what we call 'ourselves.' to keep personal happiness
as our great aim in life, and yet at the same time be
'good'. We are all trying to let our mind and our heart
go there own way----centered on money or pleasure or
ambition--- and hoping, in spite of this, to behave honestly
and humbly."And that is exactly what Christ warned that
we could not do. As He said, a thistle cannot produce figs.
If I am a field that contains nothing but grass seed, I
cannot produce wheat. Cutting the grass may keep it
short, but I shall still produce grass and no wheat. If I
want produce wheat, the change must go deeper that
the surface. I must be plowed up and resown.

Walk Closer to God

"Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears
bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree
cannot produce good fruit." (Matthew 7: 17,18). All good
works in the world cannot make a Christian, any more than
wishful thinking and hard work can make carrots in cabbages.
But onece Christ is planted in the heart, you need never wonder
again what harvest will spring up.
(Walk Through The Bible)

I guess the question here is: Are you a good tree bearing good
fruit? or A bad tree bearing bad fruit?
