Converted to Christ, a change in behavior
The commandments below apply generally, but even more so did they apply to the Cretans with whom Titus worked:
Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work. They must not slander anyone, but be peaceable, gentle, showing complete courtesy to all people.

An UPLift offering.
Better the myth than the truth
Some people seem to prefer having their myth rather than knowing the truth. Continue reading

10 rules for a happy life
Some time back I created a card for possible printing, for non-Christians, but there were no funds so it got left molding in the files.
The verse on the front is Proverbs 20:7.
On the back are 10 rules for a happy life. My translation from the Portuguese.
1. Count your blessings, not your problems.
2. Learn to praise others (John 12:1-6). Continue reading
