“Working Warm” By Kirk Hunt
To Titus, a true son in our common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
Titus 1:4 NKJV
Titus is a brief but content-packed New Testament Epistle. It is full of no-nonsense instructions regarding Church governance and discipline. Still, Paul’s letter starts with a warm recognition of a Gospel son and brother.
God’s Church must be administered with scrupulous fairness and unwavering commitment to Biblical standards of holiness. Despite the absolute standard for purity, Paul demonstrates that there is also room for fond, personal relationships between saints. It would be a surprise for it to be otherwise.
The men and women who work together, building God’s Kingdom, are regular people. Gospel workers are to conduct themselves at the highest levels of personal integrity and public accountability. It only follows that those who are God’s hands and feet of expressed love should find warm fellowship among each other.
Titus received firm instructions regarding a challenging set of circumstances. The relationship between Paul and Titus is clearly superior-subordinate. The relationship is also clearly Father-Son.
I pray you are building God’s Kingdom, here and now. I also pray you are living and working according to Biblical standards of holiness and righteousness. Finally, I pray that you find a warm and personal bond with God’s people, as you build His Kingdom.
Think: There should be a warm bond among God’s saints.
Pray: “Lord, help me to have strong, warm relationships with Your people.”
