TINY ISLAND

READ:

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.
-Titus 3:2

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Jeremiah 3-5
1 Timothy 4

Singapore is a tiny island. It's so small that one can hardly spot it on the world map. (Try it, if you don't already know where Singapore is.) Because it is densely populated, consideration of others is especially important. A man wrote to his fiancÃ©e who coming to Singapore for the first time: "Space is limited. Thereforeyou must always have that sense of space around you. You should always step aside to ensure you are not blocking anyone. The key is to be considerate."
The apostle Paul wrote to Titus, a young pastor: "Remind the people to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle towards everyone" (Titus 3:1-2 NIV). It has been said, "Our lives may be the only Bible some people read." The world knows that Christians are supposed to be different. If we are cantankerous, self-absorbed, and rude, what will others think about Christ and the gospel we share?
Being considerate is a good motto to live by and is possible as we depend on the Lord. And it is one way to model Christ and demonstrate to the world that Jesus saves and transforms lives. - Poh Fang Chia
Dear Lord, help us to be gracious, kind, and considerate not only in the church but also in our community. May the world who watches see transformed people and believe in Your transforming power.

Your witness is only as strong as your character.

EX-CHAMPION?

Although it is an unpleasant experience to be a defeated contender, becoming an ex-champion is a much more grievous experience. When you are not yet a champion, only a few people pay attention to you. But by the time you become a champion, you will be on the radar of many people, including your enemies. A champion has...More
