Training Us

I have been on a little bit of a discipline kick lately.  Not the scolding my kids kind of discipline, but the keep things focused and orderly kind of discipline.  I have noticed that I have been using this word and thought at work, in my training, with my small group and around the house.  This morning, that led me to these words in Titus where we are reminded that the grace of God is  a huge motivator/trainer to living a disciplined life.  Take a look:

 

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. Titus 2:11-14 ESV
