   Tit 3:1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient,   
   to be ready in every good work,   
      
   Tit 3:2 to speak evil of no one, not quarrelsome, but forbearing, having   
   displayed all meekness to all men.   
      
   Tit 3:3 For we also once were senseless, disobedient, being led astray,   
   slaving for various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful,   
   hating one another.   
      
   Tit 3:4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared,   
      
   Tit 3:5 not by works in righteousness which we had done, but according to His   
   mercy, He saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the   
   Holy Spirit,   
      
   Tit 3:6 whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ, our Savior;   
      
   Tit 3:7 that being justified by His grace, we should become heirs according   
   to the hope of eternal life.   
      
   Tit 3:8 Faithful is the Word, and concerning these things I desire you   
   strongly to affirm that the ones believing God should take thought to   
   maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.   
      
   Tit 3:9 But keep back from foolish questionings and genealogies and arguments   
   and quarrels of law, for they are unprofitable and vain.   
      
   Tit 3:10 After the first and second warning, avoid a man of heresy,   
      
   Tit 3:11 knowing that such a one has been perverted and sins, being   
   self-condemned.   
      
   If you are a believing Christian, and say that you are redeemed, then these   
   things should be alive in your heart, soul, and renewed mind. Than Gods grace   
   and mercy may flow freely upon and in you.   
      
   Learn this lesson from the Pharisee’s. They knew the word of God well, so   
   well that Jesus said this,...   
      
   Mat 5:20 For I say to you, If your righteousness shall not exceed that of the   
   scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of God, never!   
      
   Mat 15:8 "This people draws near to Me with their mouth, and with their lips   
   honor Me; but their heart holds far off from Me.   
      
   Mat 15:9 But in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of   
   men." Isa. 29:13   
      
   They had a lot of word knowledge yet their hearts were far from him.   
   Therefore to those who truly seek the Lord, those with ears to hear, heed   
   these words from the Lord,...   
      
   Jas 4:8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanseyour hands,   
   sinners! And purify your hearts, double minded ones!   
      
   Jas 4:9 Be distressed, and mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to   
   mourning, and your joy into shame.   
      
   Jas 4:10 Be humbled before the Lord, and He will exalt you.   
      
   Jas 4:11 Do not speak against one another, brothers. He that speaks against a   
   brother, and is judging a brother, he speaks against Law, and judges Law. But   
   if you judge Law, you are not a doer of Law, but a judge.   
      
   Jas 4:12 One is the Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you   
   who judges another?   
      
   Therefor,...   
      
   Psa 103:1 Of David. Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and all within me, bless His   
   holy name.   
      
   Psa 103:2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits;   
      
   Psa 103:3 He who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;   
      
   Psa 103:4 who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns youwith kindness   
   and tender mercies;   
      
   Psa 103:5 who satisfies your desire with good; your youth is renewed like the   
   eagle’s.   
      
   Psa 103:6 Jehovah works righteousness and judgments for all the oppressed.   
      
   Psa 103:7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.   
      
   Psa 103:8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and of abundant   
   mercy.   
      
   Psa 103:9 He will not always chasten, nor will He keep Hisanger forever.   
      
   Psa 103:10 He has not done to us according to our sins, nor rewarded us   
   according to our iniquities.   
      
   Psa 103:11 For as the heavens are above the earth, so is His mercy mighty   
   over those who fear Him.   
      
   Psa 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our   
   transgressions from us.   
      
   Psa 103:13 As the pity of a father over his sons, so Jehovah pities those who   
   fear Him.   
      
   Psa 103:14 For He knows how we are made, remembering that weare dust.   
      
   Psa 103:15 As for man, his days are as grass; as the flower of the field, so   
   he flourishes.   
      
   Enter ye into his courtyard with Praise and Thanksgiving!!!
