"If I Die Young", The Band Perry.

I've had this song in my head for weeks....







I think it's honest, and sad, and beautiful... and I really love it.


But I think it's good for me to remember that while this song is sad and beautiful, there's no hope. And I, because I know Christ, have hope at the end of my life on earth. If I die young, nothing's lost, because I have hope beyond this life.

Titus 3:4-7

Sometimes... since Titus 2 is such a big deal... I think I forget that there is a Titus 3.


Today was a good reminder. :)

"But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life."

On when to share the gospel...

"...Test yourself to see whether or not Jesus is really precious to you, and whether you believe this person is really lost without him and that it would be the best thing in the world for them to know this, believe this, and be redeemed by this. And if you really believe that, then probably sooner rather than later you're going to find some way to share this with the person that you know."
