What a sad mockery has been made of the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit in producing Christ-likeness. Many a church has taken over this purifying work by establishing a list of regulations to abide by. Even more insidious is the failure to identify lack of fruit as evidence of a branch not being connected to the vine. Arturo Azurdia handles these questions beautifully in a two part exposition of John 15:4-8. I highly commend it to you.
