Loren Houltberg: A Taste Test
Loren Houltberg
Many people outside the church would say Christians are judgmental, intolerant and don’t taste very good.
Luke 6:44 says a tree is known by its fruit. What kind of fruit do others taste from your life? Jesus reminds us that what pleases our Heavenly Father is that we bear much fruit and this fruit will show you are a disciple of Jesus (John 15:8). What should the fruit of a Christian disciple taste like?
I think Galatians 5:22-23 describes best what we as Christians should taste like to those around us. These verses describe the fruit of the Holy Spirit whose task in our lives is to make us taste like Jesus Christ Who lives within us. Jerry Cook, a beloved pastor in the Foursquare denomination wrote much about the fruit of the Spirit, many of the insights in this article were gleaned from him. Are you ready for a taste test?
