Greed To Generosity
Global giving statistics support the fact that the more money someone has, the less willing they are to part with it. Isn’t that odd? Percentage-wise, the most generous people are those who have the least. Perhaps that is why the apostle Paul wrote to his mentee, Timothy: "Command the rich to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share”. This message provides a framework for unmasking greed in our hearts, and a strategy for increasing our generosity.
Gospel-Driven Godliness and Church Leadership, Part 12
Having clearly identified the false teachers in vv. 10-16, Paul sets forth three disciplinary actions (commands all in the imperative mood) that Titus—and the elders he appoints—must take in order to prevent false teachers from harming the church (Note: Two action steps are in 1:10-16. The third action step is found in 3:10-11).
Shine On!
In Ephesians 5, Paul calls Christians to imitate God and live as children of light by living in specific ways. We explores the do's and don'ts and what we can do if we discover behavior that is out of place for a Christian and the need to get a "spiritual tan".
Gospel-Driven Godliness and Church Leadership, Part 8
In 1:10-16, Paul explains why Titus’ appointment of qualified leadership in the Cretan churches is so important, namely, there are many false teachers in Crete turning people away from the gospel. So then, Paul exhorts Titus to not only appoint godly leadership (1:6-9) but also to oppose ungodly leadership in the church (1:10-16). In order to aid Titus and the churches in recognizing and opposing ungodly leadership, Paul gives twelve characteristics of false teachers and two action steps to take in order to prevent them from harming the church. These characteristics and action steps not only apply to Paul’s day but to every age.

`The purpose of advertising is to make you feel discontent. To constantly be lured for more stuff to satisfy your life. Learn to stop prioritizing self and prioritize God in order to have unlimited satisfaction with your life and your money.
Gospel-Driven Godliness and Church Leadership, Part 4
To aid Titus and the Cretan churches in appointing qualified elders so that the churches are properly ordered, Paul, in vv. 6-9, sets forth three areas where an elder must be “above reproach.” The three areas where a prospective elder must be free of a damaging accusation are his family life, personal life and doctrinal life. The first area a prospective elder must be above reproach is in his family life. He must be the husband of one wife and have faithful children. Second, an elder must not only be able to manage his own marriage and family well (1:6) but he must also be able to manage himself well. Therefore, in vv. 7-8, Paul lists five sinful vices and six godly virtues, which define what it means for an elder to be “above reproach” in his personal life. These eleven qualities, which are evidence of God's transforming grace, are essential to fitness for oversight of God's household.
