The Last Generation is about fruitfulness and rootedness, both spiritually and culturally. The social idiom, ‘have you been fruitful today?’ expresses our desire to grow good things: to cultivate and build on what we have been given. Producing good fruit can only come from the strong foundations in which we are rooted.
I am interested in how this soil nourishes us. Good fruit takes a long time to produce and can grow over a lifetime. In the Bible this fruit is characterized by the following qualities: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
