Permitted Fruit
“...our tendency is to focus on all the rules and commandments we’ve broken, all the bad fruit we’ve produced. Yes, that is vital for our discipleship…But we make a mistake when we see this as the goal of our discipleship. What I invite you to imagine is what it looks like to produce good fruit.”
