Today's Favorite Verse: Titus 3:1
"Put them in mind to subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,"

This reminds me of the 12th Article of Faith.
"We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law."

Today's Favorite Verse: Titus 2:12
"Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;"

There is a lot of good counsel in this chapter. This verse I pondered on how one goes with the other. When you put aside the things of the world you seek a better.

Day 1704

Today's Favorite Verse: Titus 1:15

Today's Favorite Verse: Titus 1:15

"Unto the pure all things are pure; but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled."

Unless we have clean hands and a pure heart, in other words, that we are not blemished with sins unrepentant and have a sincere desire to know, we will not have access to the Spirit and the things of God will be as foolishness unto us.  It is so important that we repent daily and that when we study the words of Christ that we do so with real intent, hungering and thirsting after righteousness.  This is how we are able to know that these things are true and this is how we can be benefited by the gospel.
