Everything in a man’s life hinges on the kind of man he is. Yet, none of us is naturally a godly man. That’s something we have to learn, pursue, and cultivate. The book of Titus offers qualities that are foundational to godly manhood.

Shortly after writing his first letter, Peter hears word of false teaching spreading amongst the churches in Asia Minor. The letter focuses on combating false teachers and encouraging believers to grow in spiritual maturity by studying the Scriptures. Second Peter reminds us to be diligent in confirming our calling by cultivating Christ-likeness in all aspects of our lives.

Gratitude is an attitude of the heart. To be grateful, we must first be aware of what we have received or what we have been kept from. Lack of gratitude often comes from a selfish heart and, thus, a disordered love of self. Looking back to Jesus, to his cross, and to all that he has done for us is crucial to living each day in gratitude.
