"If there's Blood on the Roots, then there's blood on the branches"
Josh Scogin himself saidm in an interview, that this basically means "What's on the inside will inevitably come out."
I learned this the hard way. One night at a party I cracked a very racist joke. Now I am in no way a racist, and as a Chistian I try hard to avoid profanity and lsander like that. And most of the time I am successful. But this time it just slipped out.
I was ashamed and felt terrible. But then I examined my life and found out the problem: profane music and TV shows that often use this kind of humor (this joke came from South Park).
It finaly made sense to me: what's on the inside; what you live by, will come out, like it or not. So the choice is yours:
Be rooted in God, truth, and love and your branches will bear sweet, righteous fruit,
Or be rooted in sin and profanity (blood) and you will bear bloody, bitter, hateful fruit, such as racist jokes.
Now just because I watch obscene shows doesn't mean I'm not a christian, but they do affect me nonetheless. I realised that If I were to be a better example of Christ's love then I should try to cut out filth and obsceneity (or at least in TV shows; avoiding sin altogether is impossible).
Anyways, I hope you can learn from this and avoid the mistakes I made.
Thank you, Josh Scogin.
