Paul told Titus to teach believers about the freedom Christ had purchased for them. This freedom was not only from sin, but also unto righteousness. And from what “kind” of sin has Christ set us free? Every kind! So stop saying that your particular sin area is too deeply ingrained, too dirty, too much for His grace. His grace is sufficient to free us from “every kind” of sin. If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed!

Work for those who employ us in such a way that it makes them want to know about Jesus. Remember, we are servants of Christ, so everything we do, we do for Him. The excellence of your work should be a platform for preaching the gospel.

Important qualification for pastors/elders. Like a relay race runner they must “hold firmly” the baton of the Word as it was passed to them. Their task is to pass it on without dropping it. How firm is your faith grip?
