Titus 2:1 (NIV)
You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.
Titus 2:7 (HCSB)
in everything. Make yourself an example of good works with integrity and dignity in your teaching.
What subject was your favorite in school? Is the topic still your favorite today? I believe English was my favorite, especially in 10th grade. You see there was this cute teacher...but I digress. Getting back to your favorite subject; did you enjoy learning about it? Did you want to know more and more about it?
This text in Titus is all about teaching/learning. When we are children, we have everything to learn, we are as sponges and we soak up everything. When we get a bit older we can be more selective in what we study and choose to learn. But we never outgrow our need to read the right books, to study the right topics in order to improve our lives and the lives of those we touch.
Over the years, the Bible has become a valued tool I use when I don't know what to do next. When I am stumped as to which way to turn, how to respond to someone's remarks, or simply how to get through another day in this world, God's Word never disappoints.
At the chance of being on the way to losing your attention, I challenge you. Have you ever tried to read/study your way out of a predicament? Have you ever turned to The Holy Spirit for the wisdom to get yourself out of a jam? Do you understand how God's Word can help? If not, ask someone who you know follows Jesus.
Find someone to mentor you, and answer your questions. Seek out someone to share your life. You will never be the same. Your relationships will thrive and you will understand what to do so you can live a life of peace and joy.
Titus 2:1-15
