“Exhort servants (employees, slaves) to be obedient unto their own masters (bosses), and to please them well in all things; not answering again; 10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.” Titus 2:9-10

The context of the above passage is instructions to all Christian “servants” (employees) and how they can be Christ’s witnesses among those they work with, including their “master” (boss, owner, etc.).

“2:10 One of the most obvious differences was that Christians did not succumb to the besetting sin of other slaves, namely, pilfering. The Christian ethic bound them to strict honesty. Is it any wonder that Christian slaves commanded higher prices at public auctions? In general they were taught to show complete and true fidelity. They were to be totally trustworthy and thus adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in every aspect of their lives and service. What was true of Christian bondservants then should be true of all Christian employees today.” William MacDonald, Believer’s Bible Commentary

“Purloining”

nosphizomai
nos-fid’-som-ahee
Middle voice from νοσφί nosphi (apart or clandestinely); to sequestrate for oneself, that is, embezzle: – keep back, purloin.

“Fidelity”

pis’-tis
From G3982; persuasion, that is, credence; moral conviction (of religious truth, or the truthfulness of God or a religious teacher), especially reliance upon Christ for salvation; abstractly constancy in such profession; by extension the system of religious (Gospel) truth itself: – assurance, belief, believe, faith, fidelity.

“Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:” 2 Peter 2:14

“I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?” Job 31:1

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:5-7

“Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses…” 2 Corinthians 6:3-4

You are a Christian, a disciple of Jesus Christ, and what you do – good or bad – is going to be associated with Christ. In other words, the way people perceive you due to your actions and attitudes, they are going to associate with Christ Himself.

Is your life currently a reflection of the perfect beauty and divine splendor our our LORD and Savior?

“That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.” 1 Thessalonians 4:12

Beloved of God, remember that our LORD Jesus informs us that we are “the salt of the earth”, sent forth by our Master Jesus to bring His healing, the preserving power of His salvation, and His bless-ed flavoring to others.

“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16

In Titus 2:10 we are instructed to “adorn the doctrine of God.”

“Adorn” means to put in proper order by decorating, garnishing, trimming. Embellishing.

kosmeō
kos-meh’-o
From G2889; to put in proper order, that is, decorate (literally or figuratively); specifically to snuff (a wick): – adorn, garnish, trim.

Think of walking into a home for the first time and seeing the furniture and yet no accessories. Pretty plain, right? Yes. The before may be somewhat functional, usable, and yet the after is going to be much more inviting, ingratiating, and attract more takers!

Perhaps because someone cared enough to put an attractive cover on their book, most would be more inclined to obtain and read the contents of that book, right? How about a living room? What does it say of those who created a warm, inviting living room? It may just communicate to us that they cared to be hospitable to those who would visit. How about food. Has anyone ever cooked for you? What did it communicate to you that it was well seasoned? Such most likely warmed your heart, instilling in you that the person who cooked that food not only wanted you to be nourished but also delighted by the taste of that nutritious food, right?

“Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem:” Ezekiel 7:27

Jesus spoke of “many mansions” in His Father’s house (John 14:1-6). In Revelation 21 He gives a detailed, lavish description of the New Jerusalem, etc.

An inviting atmosphere is one that is defined, uncluttered, warm, hospitable, and inviting. Makes one want to dwell in that atmosphere.

Are our lives inviting to others? Do our lives make others want Jesus? And when they come close, when they commune with us, do we have enough flavor and substance to cause them to desire to pay a return visit? Remember how so many were drawn to our LORD? The woman at the well, the woman with the issue of blood, Zachaeus, the prodigal son, etc. We should never leave anyone without having made a powerful, bless-ed deposit into their lives.

Are there some renovations God is doing in your life?

“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:10

From brother Chris Sitter:

“Prayer… Father in Heaven, thank You so much – for your beautiful and precious and terrifying Word!!! You have been so kind to show us the little we currently understand. Please help us always to be hungry to learn more, to apply what you’ve shown us – to our own lives, to not have any iniquity that has dominion over us, to keep our hearts with all diligence, and to always be faithful – when You give us another chance to share. Please guide us, as we study your Word, and as we consider what to share – and where and how to share it, and please bring MANY SOULS to Yourself – through the Word of God presented, and please bless every other brother – who is preaching your balanced Word – to the lost and to your sheep!!! in Jesus name!”

Let’s Use Some Seasoning!

“Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt (seasoning), that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” Colossians 4:5-6

Do you like plain food, food with no salt or pepper, or would you prefer Tony Chacheres cajun seasoning on it? The latter is making me hungry right now! Who would think to eat bland food? Do we think God doesn’t have flavor? He invented it. Nothing exists without Him creating it.

Is your life bland or is it seasoned with God’s love exuding in and out from you?

In light of this, what might your life look like right now and what are the possibilities of what it could look like? Do you have the flavoring of Heaven exuding from your attitude, your disposition? Memorizing applicable Scriptures will immediately begin to change your life for God’s glory!

Pour Water on the Fires of Strife!

One of the ways God’s glory shines through His people is when there is a crisis and how they react. Think about when there is strife in the workplace and notice how our LORD instructs us in this.

Think of when you are attacked, slandered, harshly, unexpectedly confronted. Memorize:

“A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.” Proverbs 15:1

And memorize:

“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” Ephesians 4:29

What’s the principle conveyed by adorning the doctrine of God which is the revelation of Jesus Christ which/whom you have been espoused to?

When you witness, please be kept. Brush your teeth and comb your hair. Wear decent (not lavish) clothes.

When you put Scriptures in a little book to pass out, or leaflet/tract, do your best to make it attractive.

In other words, make the things of Christ attractive to others. Do not unnecessarily cast a stumblingblock before others by your own neglect or obnoxious behavior.

No one puts a cheap frame around a Picasso or Michael Angelo painting, right?

Lest someone would attempt to take this too far: Please understand that you and I can add nothing to God’s Word and yet God’s Word instructs us to “adorn the doctrine of God” – to make it attractive to others and not repel them by our own lack of aggrandizing it or the neglect of your own hygiene, etc.

Would we all agree that if God leads a believer to encase His Word in a book, that believer should be careful to adorn that book with a nice attractive cover? That way it is inviting for others to pick it up and perhaps buy and read those words of God within, right? Oh, and most important, the Word of God is all that truly matters in any man’s book. For believers, in all ministering, we follow the Nehemiah 8:8 model where we simply exactly state, use God’s actual Word and then give the sense of it, talk about it, attempt to apprehend what HE is saying (Ezekiel 3:4; 2 Timothy 4:2; 1 Peter 4:11).

Think back to what God used to attract you to Him. Was it not the clear-eyed love, joy, and peace of His people who witnessed to you? Yes. They adorned, they made attractive the holy doctrine which reveals our great God! That Word which they had already received was doing things in their lives that the LORD alone can do – love, joy, peace, etc. (Galatians 5:22-23). Their lives were adorned, they were living, tangible proof of how good Jesus is!

You cannot do this life over. You have only this one opportunity. Consider all that you are doing. It there eternal value? Is it truly to the glory of the LORD Jesus?

Your Prayer:

“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Psalms 90:12

The depth of the death and burial in your life is going to determine the height of the resurrection in your life (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). Nothing is going to work right without the cross at the center of your life – Christ’s redeeming cross, and the one He commanded you to take up daily (Matthew 20:38-39; Luke 9:23-24).

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of my LORD Jesus Christ. Please forgive my self-idolatry which is at the root of all my sin. Jesus, I stop my life, right now and ask You to let Your redeeming cross and all that is divinely invested in it, to take it’s full effect in my life. Please anoint me with the oil of Your Holy Spirit to the death and burial of self so that You alone might reign in my life. I love You Father. I love You my dear LORD Jesus and thank You afresh for dying on that cross for my sins, being buried, and raised against the third day for my justification. Thank You. Not my will but thine be done – now and forevermore! In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

What is our Highest Priority as we see Christ’s Return Nearing? [podcast]

What’s most important?

How do we want Christ to find us when He splits the eastern sky?

“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:38

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58

“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?” Luke 2:49

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:14

“Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.” John 4:35-38

In light of the end time events transpiring before our eyes we are keeping our:

Eyes to Jesus (Luke 21:28; Colossians 3:1-4; Hebrews 12:1-3).
Hand to the plough of His work (Luke 9:62).

“…Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” Philippians 2:12-13

“All we can do is not look left or right but keep our eyes on Jesus. He’s coming soon! This is becoming a time when people’s hearts will fail them for fear! Luke 21:26. Because our world is definitely being shaken. Our foundation needs to be built on Christ, not sinking sand (Matthew 7:24-27). Or we will fall. Building our house means not just hearing God’s Word but obeying Him. Build your life on the Word of God! Then when these things come to pass you will not fall.” Karen Cochran

“The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” Revelation 11:15

Here’s one of the responses given to this man in that conversation:

“Nothing of this offends me. Just iron sharpening iron concerning sound doctrine (Titus 2:1). ‘But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine’ (Titus 2:1). 2 Peter 1:3-4 informs us that ‘ALL things that pertain unto life and godliness’ are found in God’s Word, in His ‘exceeding great and precious promises.’ Why then do we resort to using extra biblical symbolism, especially that which is out of a known pagan, blasphemous religion? Certainly the Holy Spirit is not behind such. If we are truly in Christ’s service, we should use Christ’s Word and not something contrary to it (Colossians 3:16; 2 Timothy 3:15-17). Do we not mislead when we do such?

There is no such thing as a Christian psychologist. Such must be denounced, and will be, unless we are still walking in the flesh and not the Spirit. Jesus taught against using titles (Matthew 23:8-12). Nothing Christian about Psychology. Title Touters safeguardyoursoul.com

Paul denounced….

“For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.” Philippians 3:3-11

Salvation, ministry, is all about Jesus Christ, not us.

“That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:29-31

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5

Asking the LORD to strip you and build you from the ground up – HIS way and no other. Ask Him to remove every trace, every iota of flesh, of deceit, of evil (2 Corinthians 7:1).

“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:10

“Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.” Hosea 10:12

The Love of Many Shall Wax Cold [podcast]

YOU know when you are listening to a wolf when He only speaks of God’s love for us but never about God’s command that we love Him – and if we don’t, we are going to hell. Beware. The LORD’s been 100% faithful to us and yet He requires our faithfulness to Him or hell awaits (Matthew 22:37-40). If someone’s love toward God’s people has waxed cold, it’s only because their love for the LORD first waxed cold (Matthew 24:10-14).

The Lure and Peril of Titles and Taintings!

TODAY, many cross-less, self-serving wolves tout their great calling from God to be prophet, prophetess, bishop, apostle, etc. True disciples of Jesus proclaim they are undeservingly saved by the blood of Jesus and merely HIS servants. Kingdom echelon? If there is any echelon in Christ’s kingdom, perhaps this is it, right? …. “But he that is greatest among you shall be your SERVANT.” (Matthew 23:11) ALL who call themselves “apostle” or “prophet” are self-promoting. Most if not all today who claim to be prophets are frauds. Apostle and prophet are functions to serve God and OTHERS in and not for […]

Self-Appointed Title Touters

EXCUSE me WOLF, “apostle” or “prophet” are NOT titles to be used to promote yourself! Repent sinner! Title touters are completely SELF-centered and need to repent, lay down their lives, be crucified with Christ, and follow Jesus (Matthew 23:8-12). Are those who use titles not broadcasting their pride for all to see? Does Using Titles Draw Attention to Mere Men While Stealing Glory from Jesus Christ? JESUS CHRIST is the only Celebrity in Heaven. The last time a phony “celebrity” self-actualized, the LORD booted that devil!

“But God, who is Rich in Mercy” [podcast]

Ephesians 2:1-10

“1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Does "Abide" Mean that One Must Continue? Is Your Salvation Secure? [podcast]

Must one “abide” in Christ to the end after being saved in order to be in eternal glory with Christ, the Father, and their saints? Yes. “Abide in Christ” means to remain, dwell, or live in a continuous, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. It’s about maintaining a close connection, relying on Him, and allowing His Word to shape one’s thoughts, will, and affections. Essentially, it’s about a life lived in constant communion with Christ.” Typically, like the false religionists of Christ’s day, they put aside the WORD of God to keep their heretical tradition. In others words, they made their […]

God Blesses those who Read His Word [book]

God Blesses those who Read His Word

“Blessed is he that readeth” Revelation 1:3

“Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and READ.” Isaiah 34:16

“Rightly dividing the word of truth”

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

YES God’s people are to “study” His Word and how else to do such than to begin by “READING” His words? 2 Timothy 2:15

“Till I come, give attendance to READING, to exhortation, to doctrine.” 1 Timothy 4:13

“Blessed is he that READETH ….” Revelation 1:3

Years ago I found that if I don’t get up early to read God’s Word and spend quality moments in prayer first and foremost, it will never happen. God must be put first and this requires ruthless discipline.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

Reading all of God’s Word is the priority of every astute follower of Jesus.

There’s no way to learn God’s Word other than reading it yourself (2 Timothy 2:15). God gave you His Word in tangible format in order for you to learn of Him, from Him, and by Him. Those who leave it to others to teach them God’s Word are self-deceived and will be misled by those they depend on to teach them the Bible.

“I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

O the beauty of doing things God’s way. When things are done our LORD’s way, His blessings ensue! Blessings will chase you down! Are you putting GOD first in your life, truly, literally?

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

“The joy and rejoicing of mine heart”

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

GOD’S WORD

Saints, in order that some may be encouraged, below, let’s talk about our current personal Bible reading…..

“Presently, I am in 1 Kings, reading all the way through the Bible again, and also reading through Revelation backwards. Personally I like to read several chapters every morning to begin the day and like to include OT, Poetic books, and New Testament chapter readings….. along with pouring over passages like 1 Cor 13; Phil 2:3-5; Col. 3:1-4, 12-14;” Todd

“In 1 Thessalonians reading through the Bible.” Jason

“I am reading Mark.” Michele

“Philippians—Paul’s letter in prison—and joy.” Joe

“I Been Reading James And 1st And 2nd Peter This Week.” Connie

“Working my way through 1 Sam (ch 14 finished now) Psalms 77 and John chapter 4 finished. Trying to read through in 6 months. I enjoy listening (KJB on YouTube) while I read also.” Nathan

THE REAL R.E.D. Alert ….Saint of Christ, are you in God’s Word richly and daily, being reminded of His blessed truths?

Those who don’t, will be. They will fall away and not […]
