Our people must learn to do good deeds to meet necessary demands [whatever the occasion may require], so that they will not be unproductive.  -Titus 3:14<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Paul writing to a friend and fellow Christian, Titus, pertaining to helping people that are traveling missionaries to make sure they have everything they need as they pass through their area. It seems like it was a problem at the time and they had to be told to help. What stuck out to me on this is that this verse implies that if we are not doing good deeds we are unproductive. I think this applies to someone that is too lazy to go out of their way to help someone else, but this also applies to someone that is too busy living for themselves that they don\u2019t take the time to go out of their way to help someone else. We can be busy and get lots of things done but if we aren\u2019t doing it to further the Kingdom of God we could argue that we are being unproductive. The good deeds we do will have a lasting impact on the people we are doing them for, it can even change the whole direction of their life depending on the how it\u2019s received. When good deeds are done with a pure heart we experience heaven on earth and we defeat evil in this way. Let\u2019s keep our eyes open to do a good deed this week and then when the opportunity presents itself, let\u2019s follow through with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood things that we give out into the world are never lost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo good things whether others notice or not. It\u2019s the deeds that matter, not the size of your audience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was at Home Depot and they have Christmas decorations on the second aisle of housewares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, aisle B home for Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
