"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The law is not against such things." Galatians 5:22-23

The Bible tells us that joy is a fruit of the Spirit. This means that, as believers who are indwelled with the Holy Spirt, we naturally produce joy! Just like an apple tree grows apples, Christians should grow joy!

In the grind of day to day life, however, we can forget this…

Throughout the Bible, there are countless times where the idea of becoming a slave or a servant appears, and that seems to be a praiseworthy goal. But what does this actually mean for us as believers? Does God really intend for us all to be enslaved?

The Bible frequently talks about fruit in an interesting context—to explain deeds, things we naturally do. Just like fruit trees naturally bear fruit, people naturally bear deeds.

Money. We all want it. We all work for it. We all need it to survive.

Some work their lives away for it. Some would die or kill for it.
