Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Rust stains, grass stains, blood stains, chocolate stains — ARGH! Those stains are real nightmares in the laundry room. They don't just
leave a stain on the surface of the fabric, but they also leave a residue that infiltrates the fibers of our clothes. Evil is that way. We must
not kid ourselves. Evil corrupts and leaves a residue that corrupts everything it touches, including the hearts of otherwise decent people.
That's why we are urged to stay far away from evil and avoid its very appearance. That's also why Jesus died: to not only overcome the
Evil One, but to also clean away the stain and its residue.

My Prayer...
Father, guard my path and give me good Christian friends who will help guard my life from evil. In addition, dear Father, please help me
as I seek to share the cleansing and liberating power of Christ with those around me who are caught in evil's destructive and deceptive
grasp. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are
corrupted." (Titus 1:15)

Verses 10-16 is about internal rebels: insubordinate, idle, deceiving, self-

seeking, false teachers -- many of whom were Jewish legalists -- were to be
opposed and rebuked, so that the Christians acquired a soundness in The
Faith of God. Jewish fables and man-made commands were to be opposed.
The false teachers’ wicked, self-seeking, materialistic and disobedient
lifestyles disqualified them from any good work, obviously … See More

Titus 1:15
To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not
believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are
corrupted.

If a person’s inner life is not pure, if they do not have faith in the Lord Jesus,
then nothing is pure to them. Everything they see or hear is corrupt and
tainted towards the sinful. They take offense easily and are always scheming
against others before others take advantage of them! This is what the life
without Christ has taught them.
