Is our home a place of “whatever happens here stays here” as if our homes, and “Vegas” are of the same accord? Paul argues that it shouldn’t, and isn’t. That our faith and belief, our declaration of the grace of Christ, MUST permeate our home life too. So in today’s podcast we look at Paul’s words to Titus (Titus 2) and the churches in Crete on how they live at home must match their “sound doctrine.” Continue reading Titus 2: Living With Eagerness…at Home

Paul would declare that it’s knowing Jesus, realizing what he has done, and then having every breath of our lives reflecting not only that but eternity to come.
