It is not the job of the vine to hold up the trellis.
When religious institutions divert energy that should go toward producing fruit into maintaining their own structure, they are more a hindrance than a help.
Show me the fruit.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22,23 NIV}
Beautiful illustration, Charis, in your photo, and there is no structure but rich fruit!

There is a supporting trellis behind the scene, but you’re right. The rich fruit is what we see.
