A Tree and Its Fruit
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.”
– Matthew 15-20
**CHECK THE FRUITS!
I Never Knew You
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
What About The Arguments?
I have a simple question for you. Are you selfish? Maybe you are, maybe you aren’t. Self-audit time. Do you desire to do exactly what you want at all times, for every moment, always?
Would GOD’s existence be a total bummer to you, because it would mean that accountability and all this moral stuff would get in the way of you justifying … well .. doing whatever you want?
Another question. How often do your feelings change? Pretty often, right? So in this paradigm, morals and values are a constant shifting and ever-changing “idea” that is based on what you feel at any given moment. That’s chaotic, and you know it. You’re only human. Lean on GOD.
Peep some deets on why it’s rad to be righteous, and quite logical.
1 Wisdom has built her house; she has set up[a] its seven pillars. 2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table. 3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls from the highest point of the city, 4 “Let all who are simple come to my house!” To those who have no sense she says, 5 “Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed. 6 Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight.”
7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults; whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse. 8 Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you. 9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.
🧠
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 11 For through wisdom[b] your days will be many, and years will be added to your life. 12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.
13 Folly is an unruly woman; she is simple and knows nothing. 14 She sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city, 15 calling out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way, 16 “Let all who are simple come to my house!” To those who have no sense she says, 17 “Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!” 18 But little do they know that the dead are there, that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.

THE CHAOS OF MIXING
Mixing non-biblical beliefs with Christ’s pure teaching?
That’s a recipe for spiritual mayhem. Let’s be real—when we start blending bits of truth with a whole lot of extra stuff, we end up with confusion, dilution of the Gospel, and an open invitation for deception.
The Bible doesn’t mince words: it warns us time and again NOT to mix GOD’s WORD with whatever we feel like. It might be inconvenient for us at times, but if we’re being honest – sometimes truth is NOT convenient.
What do you prefer, live in a world full of lies (even yours)? Or of GOD’s truth?
Stop mixing!
Choose truth every time.

True salvation and transformation come when we stick to the complete, unaltered truth revealed in our LORD, Jesus Christ. So, if you’re aiming for a life that honors GOD, stay vigilant, be discerning, and keep your relationship with Him free from any dilution or distortion.
Unless your goal is a life of total nonsense.
My goal is goodness and clarity.
Stick to the light, homie.

RED LIGHT AHEAD 🚦
If accountability and moral integrity were solely determined by us small brained earthlings, then the world would be more messed up than it already is.
Think about it. We have pretty firm guidelines on how to have good and just lives – however only a portion of us actually listen and live that out.
Simple example:
We can’t just drive all rouge on the road. There are stop signs, intersections, and what not. Yet, every single day someone runs the light and people end up dead because of it.
Of course, mistakes happen. But I’m talking about the person that says:
“Light. What light?”
That’s the problem. No wonder DAMAGE ensues.
Mic Drop Moment 🎤
Why This Matters
Where In Bible
“So then each of us will give an account … to GOD.”
Accountability isn’t optional—every action counts and matters in the grand scheme.
Romans 14:12
“Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.”
Real wealth comes from character, not cash—integrity outvalues any fortune.
Proverbs 28:6
“Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.”
Clear, honest communication cuts through confusion—your promise is your bond.
Matthew 5:37
“Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy.”
Trust is built through reliability; being a person of your word is the ultimate measure of character.
1 Corinthians 4:2
“Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who act faithfully are his delight.”
Truthfulness pleases GOD and builds a life worth living—no shortcuts to genuine respect.
Proverbs 12:22
“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.”
Integrity gives you solid footing in life; deceit eventually catches up.
Proverbs 10:9
“Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.”
Truth builds community; honest relationships are the foundation of trust and unity.
Ephesians 4:25
“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.”
The little things count; your everyday honesty paves the way for bigger responsibilities.
Luke 16:10

Yeah, But – Can I Trust the Bible?
You say you’re an intellectual, right?
You most likely think you’re smart. You’re no dumb, dumb. I wouldn’t even be shocked if you can rub your head and tummy at the same time while jumping on one foot – as you recite the ABC’s backward.
But if I ask, “Have you investigated the validity of the Bible?” will you say, “That’s just an old book that isn’t relevant now?”, “Who cares about that?” or, you know, WAZZUP?
Are you as SHALLOW as a conversation about the weather? Or a LOGICAL truth-seeker(which you probably claim to be)? When your current beliefs and thoughts get challenged, do you go deeper to figure out what the truth really is, or do you start screaming intolerant one-liner catchphrases like “the Bible is full of contradictions” and hit the eject button from the conversation?
And BTW, introspective thought. Only you can answer that.
Nah, that’s not hypocritical at all. Never mind, I take that back. I’m not a liar.
One way to tell which person you are is if you Hit PLAY Below. Or, I don’t know – doomscroll on TikTok instead, and wonder why you feel empty.
“8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
