Be Rooted and Built

Rev. Edward Adeniji Koye-Ladele draws a sharp and compassionate distinction between religion and the true way of life that Scripture calls us to. Using the Parable of the Sower and the striking image of a branch severed from its root, he warns that many Christians hold positions, attend services, and carry titles while remaining spiritually rootless — alive in appearance but slowly dying. He unpacks the word 'rooted' letter by letter: resting on God's word, overcoming through Christ, walking in obedience, being taught by Scripture, being edified and preserved, and being directed in all of life's paths. With pastoral urgency and deep love for the body of Christ, he calls every believer to stop foot-dragging with God and to build a foundation in Christ that is deep enough to withstand every tribulation, persecution, and temptation the world brings.
