Please join us sharing God’s Word daily.  We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. clic aquí en español * “3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,” 2 Timothy 4:3 Titus Overview; “This epistle chiefly contains directions to Titus concerning the elders of the Church, and the manner in which he should give instruction; and the latter part tells him to urge obedience to magistrates, to enforce good works, avoid foolish questions, and shun heresies. The instructions the apostle gave are all plain and simple. The Christian religion was not formed to answer worldly or selfish views, but it is the wisdom of God and the power of God.” -  Matthew Henry Concise Titus Chapter 1, “The apostle salutes Titus. (1-4) The qualifications of a faithful pastor. (5-9) The evil temper and practices of false teachers. (10-16) ”  -  Matthew Henry Concise Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site    Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading the book of Titus Chapter 1.   The letter of Paul to Titus begins with a greeting (see Titus 1:1-4) to raise up hope and faith.  Paul lays out the qualifications for the Elders (see Titus 1:5-9) to oversee the believers. Paul warns us against those who try to hold believers (See Titus 1:10-15) to the law rather than faith in Jesus; “15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.“   Titus 1:15-16  English Standard Versions (ESV).    We should avoid those who (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5) depend strictly on works rather than faith.  This world we now live in can only be saved by faith in God and the power of prayer and repentance; “if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”  2 Chronicles 7:14 ESV.  Therefore when we hear someone complaining about the state of our world explain to them that God has given us a plan (see Ephesians 4:15) wherefore it can be saved.
