Tiny Island Read: Titus 3:1-7 Speak evil of no one, . . . be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. Titus 3:2 Bible in a Year: Jeremiah 3-5; 1 Timothy 4 Singapore is a tiny island. It's so small t already know where Singapore is.) Because it is densely populated, consideration of others is especially important. A man wrote to his fiancee who was coming to Singapore for the first time: Space is limited. Therefore . . . you must always have that sense of space around you. You should always step aside to ensure you are not blocking anyone. The key is to be considerate. The apostle Paul wrote to Titus, a young pastor: Remind the people . . . to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone (Titus 3:1-2 niv). It has been said, Our lives may be the only Bible some people read. The world knows that Christians are supposed to be different. If we are cantankerous, self-absorbed, and rude, what will others think about Christ and the gospel we share? Being considerate is a good motto to live by and is possible as we depend on the Lord. And it is one way to model Christ and demonstrate to the world that Jesus saves and transforms lives. Dear Lord, help us to be gracious, kind, and considerate not only in the church but also in our community. May the world who watches see transformed people and believe in Your transforming power. Your witness is only as strong as your character. |
