Dave Branon tells us to “Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures.
We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
But when the kindness of love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.
But when the kindness of love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.
He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
This is a trustworthy saying.

And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trust in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.” Titus 3:1-8 (NIV
“In Titus 3:1-8, Paul explains the life God enables us to live – a life of respect, obedience, and kindness that results from being reborn through Jesus and renewed by the Holy Spirit who has been poured out on us.
As we live a Spirit-guided life, God will show the reality of His presence to others through us.”
Prayer: Father, while I am being watched, may my example be what You'd want it to be; true to my faith in You. Enable me to speak, act, and think in such a manner that I am a good example to others of what Your love can do in a life, such as mine. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Our Scripture for today: Prov. 15:1-4 "A soft answer turneth away warath; but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright; but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness therein is a breach of spirit." (KJV)
Our thought for today: A workaholic feels bad about taking time to rest. Find a balance in order to not become a complainer about too much work.

“Dear Father, You know how inadequate I am.
Please equip me through the Spirit to show love
And respect in my life so that others will see
Through me a see You.
A Christian is a living sermon whether or not
He preaches a word.”

While traveling on life’s rugged way,
