    About this ebook

    Have you ever asked yourself the question,That doesnt seem very Christian like, does it? When has this occurred? Was it at church or on a Christian TV show? How about a friend or neighbor that you know personally, and they claim to be a Christian.
    Are there any rules for us as regular everyday humans to know or discern whether or not someone is who they say they are? The answer is an unequivocal yes!

    God has plainly said in His word that only He has the right to judge some ones salvation. After all that is what Christianity is really all about, who is a follower of Jesus Christ! You see God is the only one that has the ability to see inside of a man or woman to their very core, their heart. Only He can know the thoughts and intents of the heart according to the book of Hebrews.

    He has however told us that every man, woman or child will exhibit fruit. This fruit will show itself in the form of our character. Then God said that we would know them by their fruit. In other words, we are to be fruit inspectors.

    To be a God ordained fruit inspector, you must first know what the fruit is and what a good fruit is supposed to look like. This takes training by someone who is an accomplished inspector and a desire on your part to become a good inspector.

    As the government hires and trains people to inspect our meat, vegetables and fruit, for our health, so God takes you and I, trains us to be fruit inspectors for our spiritual health.

    Steven

    My family and I live in a small town on the west coast we have been here over thirty years, life is really good here, and my job as well. I meet a lot of people, as I have been in the construction field most all of my life. I have met all kinds of people. When I was in high school I was not at the top of my class. I will go on to say that if someone would have said that in the year two thousand I was going to start writing poems and have songs recorded to in Nashville, I would have said you are out of you mind or you don’t know what you are saying. I was the guy that struggled in school, which means I was a C- student most of the time. I did not do well in school when I went. So with out a doubt, I know that all that I have is a gift from God. My wife, our children, our home, our dogs and cats, and the food that we eat are from my Lord. When I asked the Lord Jesus to be Lord of my life, this is just some of the fruit that he has placed in our lives. We also have eight children’s short stories that have been written, and some day they will be little books. Thank you, and may the Lord Jesus be your light.
