PrayerBits for Monday

Monday

Scripture lesson: Titus 3:1-7 Some HARD instruction

Time to reflect: Especially as we approach the election on Tuesday, The first couple of verses of this passage can be challenging of not offensive. It would have been equally so in its original Roman context.

Moving Through The Day: Make a point this week of “showing every courtesy to everyone” -- it'll mess with their minds!

 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 and 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.
