Greetings Bible Enthusiast!


James 3:17

But the wisdom that is from above is...full of...good fruits.


If you are wondering what 'good fruits' means, then it would be a good idea to look at Galatians 5:22-23, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control," and Ephesians 5:9, "for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth." We could, (and may, depending upon what the Holy Spirit and all of you want!) spend at least three weeks on this topic alone. For now, I want you to understand what the above scripture is talking about.

God Bless You!

--FEATURED FUNNY:

Two friends are discussing the possibility of love.

"I thought I was in love three times," one friend says.

"How so?" his friend asks.

"Five years ago I deeply cared for a woman who wanted nothing to do with me."

"Was that not love?" his friend asks.

"No," he replies. "That was obsession. And then two years ago I deeply cared for an attractive woman who didn't understand me."

"Was that love?"

"No," he replies. "That was frustration. And just last year I met a woman aboard a cruise ship to the Caribbean. She was smart, funny, and a great conversationalist. And everywhere we met on that boat, I would get this strange sensation in the pit of my stomach."

"Was that love?" his friend asks.

"No," he replies. "That was seasickness."
