I remember the incident in the Gospel where the Lord of the vineyard came and inspected on of the trees in the vineyard and saw that it has not produced any fruit; the Master/Lord was angry

and instructed the caretaker of the vineyard to cut/hew down the tree for it is good for nothing, and cast it into the fire.
The Lord of the vineyard was disappointed

because the tree was unproductive, and did not bear fruit, but the caretaker interceeded for the tree and asked the Master/Lord for another season to work-dung around the tree that it might bear fruit. How often does the Pastor/Leadership of the tree {the church} pray, teach, preach, admonish God's people, and even reprove/rebuke the people of God for being nonproductive with producing fruit {witnessing and winning souls} for the Kingdom of God???
Do we ever take the time to reflect back {ponder}

to see what have we produced for the Kingdsom of God in regards to winning souls??? How many people are; were saved in the year 2012 from our efforts??? How many people are we working with diligently right NOW for the Kingdom of God??? How many souls have been saved over the duration of our saved walk with the Lord, or is this not a PRIORITY in our lives-IT IS WITH JESUS.
