Under Construction, Week 4, Day 27

Under Construction, Week 4, Day 27

LUKE 6:43-44 | No good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit; for each tree is known by its own fruit. Figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush.

Take an inventory of your life.  Do you understand Jesus’ instructions for your relationships?  For your resources? For your work?  For your sexuality?  For your devotional practices?  For your service to others?  For your family life?

If you do, are you obedient in these areas?

Praise God for an area of your life where you are following his guidance.

Ask for help in one where you are struggling to obey.

 

About the Author
David Joynt

Dave Joynt began his service as a pastor at Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise Valley, Arizona in September 2014. This meant a move away from the Northeast, where he has a long history, growing up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and then serving congregations in Delaware and New Jersey for a total of 23 years.

Dave was nurtured in a great church in Bethlehem where his parents, Anne and Carey, served as elders. He graduated in classics from Lehigh University where his Father taught, and then from Oxford, where he met his wife Julia. Ordained in 1988, he completed a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1993.

He and Julia have a son, Tristan, and a daughter, Madeleine.
