Today we are reading Titus 3. In this chapter we read Paul’s concluding comments about avoiding quarrels and controversy. “Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,”
Titus 3:1-5 ESV Can you see the stark contrast between the behavior God calls us to (Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people), and the behavior of those without Christ? What can you do today that is in line with godliness? How is your life impacted when someone around you acts in a god-pleasing way? Be the blessing someone thanks God for today! Pastor Tim
