Last Sunday we continued more on the book of Titus. You see, our pastor is currently preaching a series called "The Church God Always Wanted". Each Sunday is a part of the series and we are currently focusing on Titus; as this is one of the book's that focuses on setting up the church. (Still applies to every church, as they are constantly changing and growing).
This book reminds us that by living God honoring lives, we are teaching new Christians (whether we realize it or not). Leading by example....
Titus 2: 7-8
7 And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching. 8 Teach the truth so that your teaching can’t be criticized. Then those who oppose us will be ashamed and have nothing bad to say about us.
The pastor made a comment that I think that I will always remember. He said, "sometimes people live lives that are a mile wide an only an inch deep". Wow, what a true statement!! People can become so concerned with filling up their lives...and making them a "mile wide". But without substance....
He also reminded us that the way in which we live our lives today, is the way that we will be remembered. Truly something to think about.....

I'm so glad to read this today. And I like your pastor's comment about living a mile wide but only an inch deep. It's easy to get a taste of many things, but much better to really grasp the fruits the Lord has set out for us. But it takes being intentional and only pursuing where we are told to pursue. I think I needed this reminder to pray and weed out. And then really go for the good stuff.
