Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, \u2018Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this <strong>fig tree and find none.<\/strong> Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?\u2019 But he answered and said to him, \u2018Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.\u2019 <strong>\u201dLuke 13:6-9.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
