A Trustworthy Saying For Divisive Times

Summary:

In this message, we're reminded of the importance of humility and kindness in our Christian walk. The speaker explores Titus 3, emphasizing Paul's instructions to be subject to rulers and authorities, and to show true humility toward all. We're challenged to reflect on our own past, recognizing that we too were once foolish and disobedient before God's mercy saved us. This perspective shift encourages us to view others with compassion rather than judgment. The trustworthy saying highlighted is the transformative power of God's kindness and love, which saves us not because of our own righteousness, but through His mercy. This message is particularly relevant in our current politically charged climate, urging us to focus on our identity in Christ rather than getting caught up in divisive arguments.

Key Points:

• Christians are called to be subject to rulers and authorities, even in corrupt systems
• Believers should remember their own past foolishness and God's mercy in saving them
• The importance of avoiding foolish controversies and quarrels about the law
• The need to warn divisive people and, if necessary, have nothing to do with them
• The challenge of valuing relationships over being right in arguments
• The danger of getting caught up in political divisions and losing sight of Christ's message

Scripture Reference:

• Titus 3:1-11
