An Intra-church War

He Went To Look For Fruit But Did Not Find Any

• The vine said to the grape, you don't look like me, taste like me, and you use up all my sap...

            Thus ended fruitfulness.

• The grape said to the vine, you are too fibrous and stiff, stuck in the mud - I am the future, I don't need you...

         Thus ended fruitfulness.

 Isaiah 5:1-2a

New International Version (NIV)

1 I will sing for the one I love

a song about his vineyard:

My loved one had a vineyard

on a fertile hillside.

2 He dug it up and cleared it of stones

and planted it with the choicest vines.

He built a watchtower in it

and cut out a winepress as well.

Then he looked for a crop of good grapes...
