Promote...Reflect...Self Control...Sound Faith...Honor God

Here are some very quick thoughts on Titus 2:1-3. Been meditating on these verses. They are the most recent I have memorized. Nothing profound just some thoughts:

Titus 2:1 a) “Promote the kind of living” . . . we are to be concerned about lifestyle . . . b) “that reflects wholesome teaching” . . . our lifestyle has a source . . . it is the reflection of our worldview, attitude, thinking and belief system . . . modeling the world's lifestyle doesn't make much sense, if you are a Christian.

2:2 a) Exercising self-control takes effort and discipline . . . b) respect is something you earn and become “worthy of” . . . c) When we possess “sound faith” we are controlled by (filled with) love and patience.

Question: Does my love and patience reflect the soundness of my faith? Just sayin’

2:3 a) Women can live in a way that honors God or dishonors him . . . putting down others or drinks is not very lady-like . . . be a good influence.

Wow!
