So how are you going to live the rest of your life? Productive lives Titus 3 v 14-15
Big question for a Wednesday morning I know!
But this is how Paul wraps his letter up to Titus.
“Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives. Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith.” (Titus 3 v 14-15)
If you decide today to continue to do what is good and if you focus on the urgent needs of others then this will mean your life is productive according to Paul.
It’s not a bad idea is it?
Thinking of others more than your own feelings and desires.
The world would say production is the other way round.
Perhaps the way Paul ends the letter with the message of grace is actually the only way anyone of us will accomplish spiritually productive lives. May it be so for all who read this today!
Thank you for journeying with me through this amazing letter to Titus.
Note:
Please permit me to say one more thing. It is around 8 years since I asked for money through these blogs. But I do so right now.
Over the last few months elim leaders across the world have been praying for a young boy, the teenage son of one of the pastors of elim global. He had awful cancerous tumour and we were praying for a miracle.
This morning at 430am I was able to have a video call with Pastor Weros, his wife and family who were around the hospital bed of Justin, in Bali. Justin had a few minutes before passed away into the presence of Jesus. Hearts are broken obviously and yet also the financial burden is high. They need to bring the body back home, to the island of Sumba and then prepare for the funeral. So today I am asking if you could send anything you have to the UK Elim Missions office, marked ‘For Justin’ to the following:
