"Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, 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
This sounds simple enough, right? It does, in principle.
Respect authorities and be obedient, be ready to do good, don't talk badly about people and be peaceable, considerate and gentle to everyone. It is rather simple but that doesn't mean it's easy. Still it's a good challenge.
Be obedient. Be ready to do good. Don't talk badly about people. Be peaceable, considerate and gentle towards everyone. I'm great at all of these things... for at least three seconds a day. On a good day.
The fact is that we are never going to be perfect but these are things we can stride towards. How different would our world be if we all made an effort to follow these principles? We can't change the world, but we can change ourselves. Maybe we should all make a little more effort to work towards these commands. I need to, want to try it with me?
