Welcome to Spring! Ps Joel starts a new series: GOOD FRUIT! This series is about living fruitful lives as followers of Jesus. Part 1 looks at Matthew 7:15-20 & Galatians 5:22-26. We should choose God as our source to live productive lives, not the approval of others.
Today, in the last devotional of this current series, we explore Proverbs 11:24–31, which gives us a powerful vision of how the pursuit of righteousness leads us to bear good fruit for ourselves and others.
In this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we explore Proverbs 14:29–35 and the clear contrast between the fruit of wisdom and the fruit of folly. Wisdom produces life, blessing, and the favor of God, while folly produces rotten consequences. We're reminded that wisdom is not a one-time decision but a daily, enduring pursuit. Choosing to walk in wisdom means choosing to walk with God Himself—day after day, step by step.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

This week's fruit is Goodness, or beneficence if you want to sound fancy. Have you ever picked grapes from an orange tree? Or dates from a pomegranate tree? Of course not. Can you bear good fruit? Only if the goodness of messiah is in you. Aaron and Victoria discuss fruit today, good fruit. Did you notice Victoria's finger? She was getting a bit carried away in the vineyard picking fruit and nearly gave herself an amputation. I might be exaggerating a bit. If you watch the video she'll tell you all about it. In case you missed it, we have launched a new channel dedicated to our music. It will host our musical albums as well as scripture memory verses and sometimes just our fun songs that we like to sing while we are out and about.

The sermon explores the recurring theme of Jesus as the prophesied King of the Jews, tracing its recognition from the Magi's visit to Pilate's inscription on the cross, ultimately revealing Jesus as the King for all Gentiles. Drawing a detailed analogy to cultivating a fruit tree, the message emphasizes the importance of a good heart—free from sin and filled with Christ's righteousness—as the source of good words and actions, warning that careless speech will be judged while those aligned with Christ's grace will be justified, ultimately highlighting the need for believers to carefully examine their words and ensure they reflect the goodness of their transformed hearts.

Read Online“Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit.” Matthew 7:16–17“So by their fruits you will know them.” This is how our Gospel passage for today concludes. It offers us an exceptionally practical way by which you can discern the working of God in your own life and in the life of others.When you look at your own life, what good fruit, born for the upbuilding of the Kingdom of God, do you see? Some people may find little to no fruit born, either for good or bad. Such complacency is, in and of itself, bad fruit. Other people may see an abundance of fruit, thus producing many consequences in this world. They influence the lives of many, and their public actions make a true difference. Sometimes for good...and other times for evil.When discerning the actions of God in our world, we must first be very objective. The evil one is always very deceptive and regularly presents his bad fruit as good. For example, the legalization of abortion is often presented by many within our world as a “right to choose” or a “health service.” But the intentional death of any unborn child is clearly “bad fruit” from a “rotten tree.” There are even many so-called “humanitarian groups” or very wealthy “philanthropists” who present their work as “good fruit,” when it is anything but good. And on the contrary, there are many who work hard to bring forth a greater respect for life from the moment of conception to natural death, or strive to uphold the sacredness of marriage as God designed it, or work to promote the freedom to worship in accord with the will of God, but are labeled by the secular world as prejudiced, bigoted, fearmongers and even hateful. But their work, done very sacrificially, truly does bear good fruit for the Kingdom of God.How about your own life? When you examine your actions and the fruit born of those actions, from where does that fruit originate? Does it come from a false sense of compassion, a misguided “charity,” and a fear of being criticized for standing for the truth? Or does it come from a deep love of God, an awareness of the truth God has revealed to us, and through a courageous proclamation of the pure Gospel?Good fruit, born from the heart of the Father in Heaven, will always mirror the truths of our faith. A false sense of compassion, false accusations, persecutions and the like will flow from the rotten trees in our world. We must work diligently to be those good trees that bear the good fruit coming from God. This requires a radical commitment to do what is right in the face of the evil all around us. Reflect, today, upon these images Jesus presents. Do you see clearly both the good and bad fruit around you? Is your life helping to foster the lies of the evil one or the truth and love of God? Look at the fruit your life bears, as well as the fruit within our world, in an objective way, comparing it to the clear and unambiguous teachings of Jesus. Seek out that good fruit with all your heart and do all you can to bring it forth, no matter the cost, and you will not only save your soul, you will also help feed others with the good fruit of Heaven. My Lord of all truthfulness, You and You alone define the good and evil in our world. Your truth reveals the good fruit that is born to nourish the growth of Your glorious Kingdom. Give me courage and clarity of mind and heart so that I may continually do all that You call me to do so as to bring the good fruit of the Kingdom to all in need. Jesus, I trust in You.

Read Online“If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love.” John 15:10When Jesus spoke the line above, He followed it by saying, “I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete.” These two lines, taken side by side, provide a helpful unity of Jesus' teaching regarding holy obedience to Him.First, Jesus speaks of the necessity of keeping His commandments. To some, such a statement, when taken by itself, can seem burdensome, dictatorial, oppressive and confining. But is it? The answer is found clearly as we read on.The next thing Jesus teaches is that the effect of keeping His commandments is that we “remain in His love.” He further explains that He is not asking us to do anything that He Himself was not willing to do. He was obedient to the will of the Father, keeping the commandments of the Father to perfection. Therefore, we should hear His command as a dictate flowing from His own freely lived choice to be obedient. As the Incarnate Son of God, He perfectly obeyed the Father in His human nature. The result was that He remained perfectly filled with the love of the Father. But that's not all. Joy is also experienced in a “complete” way when we imitate Jesus' perfect obedience.In light of the teaching from our Lord, how do you view holy obedience to the will of God? Take, for example, each of the Ten Commandments. Do you struggle with unwavering obedience to them? Do you experience them as oppressive and imposed limitations rather than what they truly are? When understood correctly, the Ten Commandments, and every other dictate of the will of God, are exactly what we need and, even more so, exactly what we deeply desire in life. We want interior order rather than chaos. We want integrity rather than fragility. We want joy rather than sadness. And we want unity with the love of God rather than the loss of God. The path to the life we so deeply desire is obedience to the commands of the will of God in all things. Reflect, today, upon your immediate interior reaction to holy obedience. If you do find yourself resistant in any way to this teaching of Jesus, then that is a good sign that you need this teaching more than you may know. Try to look at obedience in the light of truth. Try to see that, deep down, your soul yearns for obedience and the interior order it brings. Examine, especially, any areas of obedience you struggle with and firmly recommit yourself to unwavering obedience to each and every command of our Lord. My obedient Lord, You obeyed the will of Your Father in Heaven to perfection. Through this obedience, You not only experienced the full love and joy of the Father in Your human nature, You also set for us a perfect example and model for holiness. Help me to see the areas of my life in which I need to be more obedient, so that I, too, will share in Your holy life and that of the Father's.

In this podcast episode, the host delves into the critical distinction between judgment and discernment as taught by Jesus in Matthew chapter 7 of the Sermon on the Mount. This chapter begins with the well-known admonition, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged." However, the episode emphasizes that this directive does not preclude the necessity of discernment in our interactions with others. The Nature of Judgment In this context, " judgment " refers to a private opinion that often carries a sense of condemnation or punishment. It implies a harsh assessment of others that distances us from them, rendering them unfit in our eyes. The host illustrates this concept with a personal anecdote about feeling judgmental toward a stranger in a public setting. This example highlights how easy it is to pass judgment without understanding the full context of another person's life. Jesus warns that the measure we use to judge others will be the same measure applied to us. This serves as a reminder that our judgments often reflect our own shortcomings and self-centeredness. The host encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives and recognize their vulnerabilities, which can foster empathy and reduce the tendency to judge others harshly. The Call to Discernment In contrast to judgment, discernment is about making wise decisions based on understanding and insight. The host explains that discernment involves recognizing the direction one should take without the condemnation that judgment entails. Jesus invites us to discern wisely, particularly in our own lives, by addressing our own issues first—symbolized by the "plank" in our eye before we attempt to help others with their "specks." This process of self-examination is crucial. The host emphasizes that understanding our own flaws and engaging in personal growth allows us to approach others with compassion rather than condemnation. It is through this lens of humility that we can genuinely assist others in their struggles. Practical Applications of Discernment The episode outlines several practical ways to cultivate discernment: Self-Reflection: Engaging in a "searching and fearless moral inventory" of oneself helps identify personal shortcomings and fosters a deeper understanding of how our actions affect others. Setting Boundaries: The phrase "Do not give dogs what is sacred" serves as a metaphor for using our resources wisely. It encourages us to be intentional about where we invest our time, energy, and emotional capacity, ensuring that we are not manipulated or drawn into unhealthy dynamics. Asking Abundantly: The host encourages listeners to ask God for guidance and support in alignment with His kingdom values. This involves praying for justice, compassion, and healing, which aligns our hearts with God's purposes. Recognizing Fruit: Jesus teaches that we can identify people by their fruit—good trees bear good fruit, while bad trees bear bad fruit. The host stresses the importance of observing the lives of those around us to discern their true character, rather than relying solely on their words. The podcast episode ultimately invites listeners to embrace the journey of practicing discernment over judgment. By focusing on our own growth and understanding, we can engage with others in a way that reflects the love and grace of God. This approach not only strengthens our relationships but also builds a solid foundation for our lives, allowing us to withstand the storms that come our way. The invitation is clear: participate actively in the kingdom of God by cultivating a spirit of discernment that leads to genuine love and support for others. To effectively help others, one must first address their own issues and shortcomings, as highlighted by the metaphor of removing the plank from one's own eye before assisting others with their specks. This concept is rooted in the teachings of Jesus, particularly in Matthew chapter 7, where He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and personal integrity before offering guidance or correction to others.
