Read: Hosea 11 - Joel 1; II Peter 1 Joel 1:12
“The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.”
One of the greatest indicators that the church has dried up and withered is the lack of joy amongst the saints. When I was a Catholic, I was under the impression that a sad face and somber attitude was what God expects from us. But according to my Bible and yours too, the kingdom of God is “…righteousness, and peace, and JOY in the Holy Ghost” (Romans 14:17). The lack of joy is the result of dried and withered religion, a religion without the Spirit of God.
