Memory verses for this week: Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Introduction: Last week in our study of Chapter 2, we covered some of the duties of the young and old members of the church. We discussed the importance of mentoring and letting the older members guide the younger members in how to live and raise their families. Paul closed encouraging Titus to turn from lusts and things of the world, and to stand for the things of God. We finish our study on Titus this week as we cover Chapter 3.

I. Our Attitude Toward our Government

Titus 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

God teaches us to be subject to our government and to obey the laws of the land. We are to be subject to the local principalities and powers as well as our national government. We realize that these powers are ordained by God.

Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

The only time we are not to obey our government is when it is contrary to the will of God. An excellent example is the law that allows a woman to have an abortion legally in the United States. God’s law expressly forbids murder, so Christians should not only take advantage of abortion, but should speak out vocally against it.
