I <strong>AM</strong> : M. M. Ninan<br />

Unfruitful the wicked Hosea 10:1<br />

Worthlessness of its wood<br />

The wood of, fit only for burning<br />

Ezek 15:2-3 "Son of man, how is<br />

the wood of a vine better than<br />

that of a branch on any of the<br />

trees in the forest? Is wood ever<br />

taken from it to make anything<br />

useful? Do they make pegs from<br />

it to hang things on?<br />

Unfruitful life is a wasted life.<br />

8. LAWS RESPECTING VINEYARDS<br />

Not to be planted with different<br />

kinds of seed Deuteronomy 22:9<br />

The fruit of new vine should not<br />

be eaten by the owners till the<br />

fifth year Leviticus 19:25<br />

The fruit of new vine should not<br />

to be eaten for three years<br />

Leviticus 19:23<br />

The fruit of new vine is to be holy<br />

to the Lord in the fourth year<br />

Leviticus 19:24<br />

Strangers entering the vineyard<br />

are allowed to eat the fruit of vine<br />

freely, but they may not carry any<br />

away from the vineyard.<br />

Deuteronomy 23:24<br />

Each church should have its own<br />

theology. Do not try to mix them.<br />

This probably refers to the maturing<br />

period of new Christians. They may<br />

not be expected to teach. Just as the<br />

vine needs time to mature and bring<br />

fruit, every Christian needs to<br />

mature before they bring forth fruit.<br />

People may come into the church to<br />

feed themselves. But they may not<br />

take any food outside or any<br />

member out of the church. No<br />

church should take in another<br />

person from a different church, nor<br />

prompt to do so.<br />
