Jesus said to his disciples: "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. So by their fruits you will know them."
Consideration: if you really want to know a person, don't listen to their alluring, or enticing words; watch their actions. Look at the people surrounding them, and, if what they say and do has a positive impact on those they claim to help. Is there sincere goodness and peace in the works they do? Many in authority have selfish, self-centered motivations. The words of Jesus are so true in every aspect of life: "By their fruits you will know them." So true! Amen.
