Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life fit for Heaven…

…Does the bible tell you how different age groups are supposed to behave…It is written…

Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

...Titus 1:15-16

1.      But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine: that aged men be temperate (self-control), grave (sincere), sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:

2.      That aged women likewise be reverent (respectful) in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good; that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sober-minded, chaste (pure), workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed

3.      The younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded: in all things showing yourself an ensample of good works; in your doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity (being grounded), sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.

4.      Exhort (encourage) servants to be in subjection to their own masters (bosses), and to be well-pleasing to them in all things; not gainsaying (talking back); not purloining (not taking away from), but showing all good fidelity (faith); that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.

...Titus 2:1-10

For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

...Titus 2:11-14

 

In the book of Titus there are four group of people Titus is told what to tell them to do to behave correctly so they may be zealous of good works fit for Heaven. The aged man…the aged woman…the younger men…and all servants or slaves. You fit in one of these categories when you read this how do you measure up to the prescription for Titus preaching? Perhaps start on one of the traits you need to work on today and begin creating a new habit…do you have any spiritual growth goals set or just hope you make it. Why not get in tentful and do more than intend on growing…make a planned effort. I heard it takes longer to lose a habit than begin on…just know without trying the pathway to hell is paved with good intentions.

 

Prayer

Father please help us by meeting our soul’s deepest needs so we can continue to become more like Jesus and have a character fit for heaven our home…we renounce satan and his kingdom please show us mercy and help us grow…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
