Redeemed from all iniquity

Just a quick update. I want to do a lot more studies and post them here, which I shall shortly do, time permitting.

Titus 2:14   Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

I just stumbled onto that verse today, as I was communing with the Holy Spirit on a break at work. The phrase “redeem” came into my mind, and I did a quick BLB search on it. When I came across that verse, It hit me pretty hard, since I had been really struggling last week. I am thankful for His promise to purify us, and bring us to Himself.

Lust

0518 and all is very well on the Nightwatch

Here are some scriptures on lust, in case we forget what the Bible says about it (let us not forget)
