“This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.” Titus 3:8
This past Sunday Pastor Chris talked about people who are “saints” at church, but, “sinners” at home. I’m sure that thought could be expanded from not only at home, but also in society at large. Do we consistently honor God no matter where we are, or who we are with? Do our thoughts, words, and deeds consistently declare that an amazing God takes perfect care of us? In referring to Titus 3 John MacArthur wrote this: “Most Americans claim to believe in God; millions still attend church regularly and call themselves Christians. But practical atheism and moral relativism dominate our society. For the most part, the few vestiges of Christianity still reflected in our culture are weak and compromising. We, too, must live out our faith, doing good works that will glorify our heavenly Father and point people to Him.”
Let’s encourage one another this Thursday morning as we study Titus 3 and consider ways to better honor God by our daily lives in the world. We will be in the first half of Lesson 12—page 109. We have just two Bible studies left in this year and in this book. Let’s finish well and be encouraged for the final busy days of the year; may God be glorified in our lives.
