He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful.

Preparation for Newness of Life –Trust the Process
“As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, [...]

The Strong Life Series – V
Man Made StrengthI’ve read this Psalm 52 a couple of times in the past couple of days. When I first read it the verses seemed strikingly and primarily reminiscent of corrupt high-profile figures in today’s society with great power, wealth, authority and influence. And indeed the text does indeed address the treachery of wicked men [...]
