GODLINESS IS THE END GOAL: Titus 1:1

"Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness." Titus 1:1

The playoffs are coming up for my son's little league baseball team. We have great pitching, but, our hitting has been a weakness. So, we have been spending more time in the batting cages. The goal: to get a lot of hits and score a lot of runs. 

Godliness is the desired effect of the knowledge of the truth and faith.  Although it may not always seem easy to be godly, it is fairly straightforward. To be godly is to be Christlike. To be Christlike is to be loving. Think for just a moment of a few things you will encounter today...how can you do that in a Christlike way? 

Lord Jesus, help us to treat people like you would treat them and to act with integrity and honesty, unlike many around us. Praise be to you in us today!
