Day 2: Titus 1:8-9

8 Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. 9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. (Titus 1:8-9)

As we woke up every day and did our errands, we always told ourselves, as we passed the church, that we should go there. Day by day, the same thought went through our minds every time we passed, until we finally looked up the hours for services and followed through with our intentions.

We walked through the door and into the welcoming arms of the awesome family that we have come to love and cherish. God has chosen his disciples wisely, from a crazy man who just wants the word of God to be heard and understood to the mellow wife who loves the Lord with undying love. We have come here to be followers of the word. We are not the richest people in the world, but we do give our offering in the love we share for our church family and in the ever so present love that the Lord gives us every day.

Many people go to the closest church to them, because it is easier; but as for us, we felt that we were led and pulled to this church. From all the activities we have participated in, and the events we have helped host to further the knowledge of our God, we are so happy that we are members and disciples of Jesus Christ and the First United Methodist Church of Killeen.

God, thank You for choosing us to be Your disciples and for trusting us to pass Your word to the ones that don’t know You. Thank You for letting them know that Your arms of love are open wide every day. We are honored to love and do work in Your name. With all of our love, we will serve whole-heartedly in Your name. Amen.
