In assessing the condition of the American church, are the people of God considering John 15? These are more forgotten words of Jesus Christ.

Prompted by my response to Paul Edwards’ recent article on praying for the president we will be considering this passage in coming weeks…
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit…Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned” [John 15:1-6].
