“For a vine to grow well it needs a trellis otherwise it will bear a fraction of the fruit that it’s capable of and will be vulnerable to wild animals or disease.”
John Mark Comer explains the ancient term ‘Rule of Life’ by sharing the analogy of a trellis in a vineyard, creating a support structure that helps a vine to grow. He also unpacks what it looks like to create your own Rule of Life helping you abide in the presence of God.
