Just say no!

Titus 2: 11 – 12
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age…

It is the grace of God, that brings Salvation to all men.
I would appear that if we understood the grace of God, we would be taught to say, “NO”, to ungodliness and worldly passions.

When we understand Salvation, the outcome should be a self controlled and upright, godly life.
The grace of God teaches us these things as we live in the present age.

I couldn’t imagine for a second, missing Dave Wager’s teaching last night at church.
We’re right at the beginning of our 3rd. annual, Family Life Conference @ WCF.

What would you name as a worldly passion today?
Some people actually chose those things, rather than being in church last night.

I happen to believe, that anything we chose, that’s outside of spending time with God, would qualify.
I know most of us wouldn’t want to admit it, but sometimes we’re controlled by things that have nothing to do with God.

I need to learn to tell myself, “NO”, especially if it’s outside the will of God.
If I understand God’s grace, then I will understand what I need to say “NO”, to.

We’re not very accustom to saying, “NO” to much of anything.

Maybe if we really loved God, we would say, “NO”, and live in a self controlled, godly environment
