I have been listening, along with some dear friends, to messages by Carolyn Mahaney. The first Message on a Fresh look at Titus 2, Carolyn spoke to us about Why we live the Titus 2 mandate.
So why do we?
I am not an older woman- I am considered young. So, I am in training.
how powerful God is or is not by the way we live it out. Once, I was at Carolyn urged us younger women to live a Titus 2 life for the simple fact that we will make the gospel attractive to the lost. When we live a gospel- centered life, loving God's word and living it out as he guided us, we show the world that Jesus means something. They are watching us!
Recently, I was at our local McDonald's and a woman came up to me and just raved on how well behaved my kids were. You know the sad thing? I took the credit for that- what pride! And you know what my kids did then? Proved to that woman that I had nothing to do with it.... They turned into little hellions.
God showed me my pride pretty quickly. Do you know what I should have done? I should have taken the time right then and there? Shared the Gospel with that woman. She observed something different in my family, and it had nothing to do with me. It had everything to do with the power of the Cross and what Christ had done for me and in me, transforming my family.
Take a moment next time someone asked you about your life and share the Gospel with them, they are watching!
