Fruitfulness, Omartian shows, is not produced by striving but by staying — abiding in Christ is the single condition for a life that bears lasting fruit.
Discussion Questions
6 questions1.Omartian uses the image of being planted — roots going deep before fruit appears. Are you in a season of visible fruitfulness or quiet, underground growth? How do you feel about that season?
2.She distinguishes between activity (doing many things for God) and fruitfulness (doing what God has called you to do). How has busyness in ministry or service masked a lack of true fruit in your life?
3.John 15:5 says, "Apart from Me you can do nothing." Omartian takes this seriously. Where have you tried to produce results in your own strength and found them hollow?
