ROOTS GROW DEEP ABIDING IN GOD’S VINE  Robert Schaetzle

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. John 15:4 ESV


Many years ago, we facilitated a home bible study from the Navigators 2:7 series. The discipleship course was taken from Colossians 2:7 with the theme being ‘Built-up in faith, being rooted in Christ.’ As with our Lord’s admonition to ‘abide’ given in John 15, learning to abide ‘in Jesus’ is a growing and learning process.

Abiding and growing in Christ requires ‘living water,’ but my purpose is to recognize our responsibility to stay ‘rooted’ in the proper soil in order to bear fruit others will desire. To bear fruit that is nutritional and delicious and worthy of God’s honor, we must remain rooted in Christ alone for our redemption. This is what brings genuine purpose and allows his preeminence to prevail. For sure, we need His ‘living water’ too, that won’t evaporate when the pressures of life challenge our faith.

I know I must remain firmly attached to Christ as my Vine, taking time to learn and to recognize His Holy Spirit, as our Lord daily intercedes for me at the Father’s right hand. By doing so, I’m not tempted to wander off into fearfulness because of things happening all around me. My heart keeps looking to things above, so it isn’t tempted to become overwhelmed by the flood of godlessness in the world.

Father, I thank you for planting me in soil that will bear wholesome fruit, worthy of your honor. May I always live by faith, being rooted in the vine of my Lord Jesus, against the pestilence and parasites that want to destroy the fruit I bear for you… through the vine of my Savior Jesus. AMEN

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member.

It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campus and online in several languages. Hundreds of reviews online. 

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time. 

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
