Some ran, some rucked, then we sat down for a 15 minute discussion on this weeks’ verse – Titus 2:11
“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,”
Verse 12 goes on to say “training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,”
The whole chapter talks about how Christians should act and carry ourselves. We had some great discussion on that including missionary work as well as some ‘live right’ and ‘get right’ items. Later in the day on the GroupMe chat, someone pointed out how fitting it was that we studied this verse just before Big Pappy was leaving to go to Jamaica. Now on the surface, that may not seem to tie together. However, what you may not know is Pappy and his wife are going for their 21st Anniversary. They haven’t been on vacation without the kids since their honeymoon. Yet they are taking time out of this trip to visit an orphanage and donate clothes and school supplies they gathered through donations (and likely from their own pocket as well). A suitcase with 110 lbs worth of stuff! As you look through Titus 2, including these verses, you quickly realize Pappy is putting this verse and chapter of the Bible into motion. A REAL HIM, for sure. Safe travels Pappy!
