So I probably should have said human nature, rather than just nature... It's our human nature that opposes God. <BR/>The important word I see in those verses is "still". <B>Still</B> bringing forth fruit.cHim-printshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713902519518857807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2452306540403628092.post-59077412868759390152008-09-13T12:14:00.000-04:002008-09-13T12:14:00.000-04:00Funny...

(a good reminder to make the most of our time here on earth), the vine and branches (staying connected to God), the fruit of the Spirit, tree bringing forth fruit in its season, etc. <BR/>Your tomatoes must have SOME parallel too... hmmm. Perhaps an example of a believer who appears to be nothing special, but valuable to God as they're still producing fruit??? I did notice some red fruit.<BR/>Your thoughts please?Joel and Marcie Fenskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05943818291592838474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2452306540403628092.post-66373276657835312562008-09-12T21:21:00.000-04:002008-09-12T21:21:00.000-04:00I'll trade you some of my fat, juicy, beefsteaks f...I'll trade you some of my fat, juicy, beefsteaks for some of that "old aged" wisdom!<BR/><BR/>You've already given so expect some 'matos.
