Living God's Way


Living the way that God wants us to is difficult, because for many of us, God's direction for our lives is very unclear. This is what Titus 2:11-13 (from the bible) has to say on Living God's way...

11For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ...

Now that all sounds easy, doesn't it? (NOT)

Is it easier to read about self controlled upright and godly lives, then to actually live it?

There are so many pressures in this world that stop us or even make us not want to live our lives according to the description in Titus. Friends, Family, TV and much much more, these things are out there to stop us living God's way.

Think about this:

What are the things in this world that may be stopping you living for God?

How can you say 'No' to these things?

Are self-control, upright and godliness (living God's way) valued by the people around you?

Just something to think about...
