Are\n             grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from\n             thistles?\n        17   So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the\n             diseased tree bears bad fruit.\n        18   A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a\n             diseased tree bear good fruit.\n        19   Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut\n             down and thrown into the fire.\n        20   Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.\n             (ESV)\n\n        Our prayer of the Church this week confesses that our\n   thoughts and actions must be guided by the Holy Spirit, otherwise\n   all we think and do is tainted by sin.\n        Grant to us, Lord, the Spirit to think and do always\n        such things as are right, that we, who cannot do\n        anything that is good without You, may be enabled by\n        You to live according to Your will; through Jesus\n        Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with\n        You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.\n\n\n        How do we know God's will?  How does the Holy Spirit guide\n   us in all things?  Who do you trust to tell you the truth?\n\n        Jesus said, as He was finishing the Sermon on the Mount:\n        Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's\n        clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.  You will\n        recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered\n        from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?  So, every\n        healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree\n        bears bad fruit.  A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit,\n        nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.  Every tree\n        that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown\n        into the fire.  Thus you will recognize them by their\n        fruits.\n\n\n        God calls pastors to serve the Church to apply the Word of\n   God to each person.  This is the prophetic part of the Office of\n   the Ministry.  What should you look for in the message of each of\n   these pastors, each of these prophets?  That is the topic this\n   week.\n\n        May our Lord grant us wisdom and faith to recognize true\n   prophets and avoid false teaching.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 27, 2026 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5072"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5072\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5073,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5072\/revisions\/5073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
