SOME LIKED TO PRETEND that titus had been the ringleader in everything. history seems to be changing shape in this town the longer he has his uncle's throne. he remembers following faith closer than he had ever followed god. he ain't so sure that's different now. "your mama thinks a lot will be the death of you." as a teen, titus hadn't minded mrs. oakley much. now he struggles to see her in a nice light. "won't offer if you were imposing. come on in, faith." his home, once his uncle's, didn't see many visitors anymore. it's only right that faith be one of the few still welcome within it.

A SHIT-STIRRER IN HER YOUNGER YEARS, being the preacher's daughter made her feel close to invincible. lead her and friends alike down some pretty sketchy paths. titus never seemed to question it and would follow her unhesitatingly. she'll wonder if that's changed in their time apart. " my mama always said it may as well be the death of me. " she spares a glance inside, recalling stepping inside to babysit misty or to pay titus' uncle a visit when called on. " as long as you're not in the middle of anything, cowboy. don't wanna impose. "

“Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.” —Titus 2:2 (NASB1995)

“Sunday Check-In With Dr. Stanley: What It Takes” By In Touch Ministries:

“In God's Word, fathers can find the wisdom they need for leading their families.”

“There are dozens of parenting manuals out there, each promising to make a man a better father. But in today’s passage—just 15 words in total—the apostle Paul provides more helpful guidance than a shelf full of books.

Titus 2:2 tells us that an older man tasked with leading others must be “temperate,” or free from negative influences that can cloud his judgment. He must also strive to be “dignified,” which involves being honorable and worthy of respect. Likewise, a good father must be self-controlled and live in what Strong’s Concordance refers to as “God-defined balance.” In other words, he must strive to remain even-keeled, calm, and peaceable, no matter what.

But all these positive traits aren’t worth much without the remaining characteristics Paul lists: An older man must also be “sound in faith, in love, [and] in perseverance.” A man isn’t meant to be all hard edges and uncompromising principles. He should be tender and kind as well. He must love others in the various ways Christ makes possible.

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.” —1 John 4:7-9 (NASB1995)

This advice may seem too difficult, but remember that all things are possible with God (Matthew 19:26). Every one of us needs to grow in Christlikeness. So where would you like to start?”

Why be born again? Part 1

The regeneration of the human spirit

In our back-to-basics bible studies we have seen so far that two of the six stones in the barrier between God and man have been removed.

The first two stones were 1. sin which was removed by redemption and atonement and 2. the penalty of sin was removed by Jesus, dying on behalf of all men. This is called expiation. It is useful for us to bear in mind that any one of the six stones would be enough to block man’s way through the barrier to God.

Each and every stone has got to be removed by Jesus.

Today we are going to consider the third stone in the barrier which is called physical birth.

All people are born spiritually dead (we covered this in the study of the ‘Virgin birth.’ In Adam all die, Watchman Nee gives a good way of understanding this.

If your father, or grandfather, or great grandfather had died as a child then you would never have been born.

In a sense you would have died in your forebears who died as a child.

In the same way we were all in Adam when he died spiritually and in the same way we were born

spiritually dead. Adam doomed all humankind to spiritual death at birth. In our dead spiritual state, we cannot communicate with God.

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

One of the main purposes of the Holy Spirit is to reveal to us all that God has prepared for the believers.

Such things can only be discerned by our spirit not by the soul nor by the flesh.

The natural (soulish) man (sometimes the soulish believer who wants to analyse be his mind) cannot receive the things of the Spirit.

Speaking of the Holy Spirit in John 16:8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

As you know, His convicting work is to bring a sinner to a realisation that sin separates them from God, and that only through Christ can they receive forgiveness of sins and life-everlasting, for only by faith in Christ can an unrighteous sinner be declared righteous in the eyes of God.

So we can conclude that the Holy Spirit has successfully preached the gospel to all believers.

The Word of God and the Holy Spirit usually work together to bring people to salvation (we remind our outreach team (the John 3:7 ministry) of this. Asking them to always start the conversation with a passerby by quoting the scripture.

Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

The Holy Spirit regenerates our dead spirit and makes it alive to God. This allows communication between God and the believer. We need to be born again to be able to hear what God is saying through his written and spoken word.

A surprising number of people have been saved by reading God’s word especially John’s gospel. This shows the Holy Spirit and the Word of God working together to bring salvation.

Amen

A Faithful Saying

[ritadcsc]

Os propósitos de Deus para nossa vida são inegociáveis. Permita-se estar no centro da vontade dele, para a concretização dos planos que ele deseja realizar por seu intermédio. São planos de paz, de fazê-la prosperar, de crescimento e progresso.  O nosso Deus não é Deus de regressão, mas de progressão!

Living Out the Truth

Titus 3.1-15 Those who know the Truth are to live out the Truth. In every circumstance. Why? Because of the gospel. Because we have been saved on purpose for a purpose. That we might be careful to engage in good deeds. The gospel compels us. We were dead, but Jesus has given us life. And He’s given us life so that we might share the message of the gospel with others. The hope that we’ve found…

And in all things show yourself to be an example of good works, with purity in doctrine [having the strictest regard for integrity and truth], dignified,

sound and beyond reproach in instruction, so that the opponent [of the faith] will be shamed, having nothing bad to say about us.
