Titus 2:7-8
Be an Example That Silences Critics!
Welcome, Faith Force Living Examples! Today, we’re learning about being excellent examples in every area of life, as shared in Titus 2:7-8.
Verse Of The Day:
"In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us." (Titus 2:7-8)
Have you ever noticed how teachers are watched by everyone? Paul teaches us that we’re all being watched and should be examples in every area!
“In everything set them an example by doing what is good” – not just in some things, but EVERYTHING! Our actions should show others the right way to live. Then Paul lists specific areas: “show integrity” (be honest and trustworthy), “seriousness” (take important things seriously), and “soundness of speech that cannot be condemned” (speak wisely so no one can criticize what you say).
The amazing result? “Those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.” When we live with such excellence in every area, even people who don’t like us can’t find anything bad to criticize! Our exemplary lives silence the critics.
Example in Everything Report Card:
Create your personal report card with categories: “Good Deeds,” “Integrity,” “Seriousness,” and “Sound Speech.” Each week, evaluate yourself honestly and track improvement. Add a “Critics Silenced” section where you note times when your good example left opponents with nothing bad to say!
Time For A Prayer:
Dear God, help us be examples in everything we do! Give us integrity, help us take important things seriously, and make our speech sound and wise. Help us live so well that even people who oppose us have nothing bad to say about us. Make us excellent examples! Amen.
Keep being excellent examples in everything, Faith Force Living Examples! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember to set an example in all areas so critics have nothing bad to say!
