What we can learn about the fruitful Christian life from our drip line, part 3: We must stay connected to the source.

Oue drip line only works if it is connected to our water source. Absent that, nothing flows and nothing grows.

The same is true of our work for God—we can’t do it apart from Him. Jesus summed that up in John 15:4-6:

Remain in me, as I in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself, unless it remains part of the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me, with me in him, bears fruit in plenty; for cut off from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a branch—and withers; these branches are collected and thrown on the fire and are burnt. (New Jerusalem Bible).
