i john 2:3-6

we know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. the man who says, "i know him," but does not do what he commands is a LIAR, and the truth is not in him. but if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. this is how we know we are in him: whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

titus 3:1-5a

remind the people
* to be subject to rulers and authorities,
* to be obedient,
* to be ready to do whatever is good,
* to slander no one,
* to be peaceable
* and considerate,
* and to show true humility toward all men.

at one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. we lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.

BUT when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.

***** hmmmm - continuing the hypocricy vs. reality theme - perhaps we should have 6 days of woes?????? (those of you who were at Bible study may laugh at that attempted humor...) i've also included some good verses from titus - if you haven't noticed, i like lists - it's a good thing to take each one individually and pray about that particular item and YOUR life - take the time to think about what each one means......
