To The Corrupt Nothing Is Pure


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.
They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny Him.
They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.
(Titus 1:15-16)

You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.
Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled,
And sound in faith, in love and in endurance.

Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live,
Not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, bu to teach what is good.
Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, To be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind,
And to be subject to their husbands,
So that no one will malign the Word of God.

Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.
In everything set them an example by doing what is good.
In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech
That cannot be contemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed Because they have nothing bad to say about us. (Titus 2:1-8)

For the Grace of God that brings Salvation has appeared to all men.
It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions,
And to live self-controlled upright and godly lives in this present age,
While we wait for the Blessed Hope--
The Glorious appearing of our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
Who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness
And to purify for Himself a people that are His very own,
Eager to do what is good.

These are the things you should teach.
Encourage and rebuke with all authority.
Do not let anyone despise you. (Titus 2:1-15)

To those who love Christ Jesus; who obey His commands;
Who walk as He walked, ALL THINGS are PURE.
But to those who do not know Him; who have rejected His offer of Salvation;
To the unredeemed; To those consumed by the lusts of this world,
NOTHING is PURE! Which is the condition of most of humanity.

Some of these claim to know Christ Jesus,
But by their actions they deny Him.
They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

The older men who know Christ Jesus will be temperate,
Worthy of respect, self-controlled,
And sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
The older women will be reverent in the way they live.
The young men will be self-controlled,
So that no one can malign the Word of God.

Realize that the Grace of God that brings Salvation
Has appeared to ALL men; To every man and woman,
So that ALL are without excuse [Rom 1:20].
This Grace teaches us who know Christ Jesus
To say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions,
And to live self-controlled upright and godly lives in this present age,
While we wait for the Blessed Hope--
The Glorious appearing of our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
Who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness
And to purify for Himself a people that are His very own,
Eager to do what is good.

The Great God of Creation, The Self-Existent One, Christ Jesus,
Made Himself flesh and came and lived among us
Revealing to us the character and nature of God.
He came and gave His life, a living sacrifice; the only acceptable sacrifice
For the sins of the whole world,
That we might accept Him as Savior and Lord,
The only way out of our state of being condemned before Him,
Having been born into SIN.
This monumental ACT is a demonstration of the Grace of God.
Conditioned upon only one thing: Acceptance of His terms;
Upon His Way, His Truth and His LIFE.

Why is America and the world in the condition they are today?
Because they are corrupt and impure!
Because they have refused Christ Jesus and His terms.
Which is the only Way out of their SIN and impurity.
The world hates God, His Christ Jesus and His Word which are One;
The One who tells them that what they do is evil! (John 7:7)
The world ruled by Satan is the enemy of Christ Jesus. (James 4:4)
The world does not fear God, they are deceived and blind
From the highest to the lowest.
Apart from Christ they have no hope!

But we who know God, His Christ Jesus and His Word
Have the BLESSED HOPE; the SOON return of Christ Jesus
Who will claim His Treasured Possession, His Bride.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)
As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
