Titus 2:11-12 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age...

*We live in a world of opposition* *Torn between animosity and affection* *To love is the deepest and fondest passion* *While hatred can lead to pure detestation* *Sadly, the world revolves around this competition* *Love can build and reward all of civilization* *But, hatred builds and thrives on devastation* *A passion that destroys and can cause complete destruction* *Yet mankind cannot overrule this need for antipathy* *This driving force built on disgust and animosity* *Men to easily reject all points of view but his own* *This causes many a man to find himself sad and alone* *Mankind was so caught up in this passion of gloom* *Which can grow and multiply and leave nothing else any room?* *It leads to war and turbulence and more hatred and more war* *If only we could master the art of love war would be no more* *Mankind could live in harmony and friendship and tolerance of others* *We could immerse ourselves in understanding and thus love our sisters and brothers* *Jesus came to show Gods love but man fear it and rejected him then* *Now you can reach for his love. Open the door to your heart; he will come* in
