Several weeks ago, I awoke to God's voice speaking to my spirit and saying, "Come up here and think my kind of thoughts. My thoughts are higher than the ones that occupy your mind." I immediately wanted to respond to this, but found myself culling first one thought, then another, as they seemed to not "fit" into what I surmised to be His thoughts. My anxiety began to rise at the frustration of realizing just how mundane and earthly were my assignations. It was then the
Paul tackled the opponents of Grace throughout this wonderful first book of his writings. Having suffered much from the Jews, he was unwilling to see his converts slide back into a form of Judaism, even though it was being administered and nurtured by Jewish converts. However, in attacking this error, he, in essence, attacked all forthcoming attempts to "add things" to the Grace Gospel flowing out of Christ.
The prophet viewed everything through the eyes of the Lord God, not determining his reality by his surroundings or his circumstances or his times. Jeremiah was not blinded by the opinions of others, the ruling courts of his day or his rejection by the established clergy. He had been to God's Holy Mountain and knew things are "not as they seem."

This study is designed to be the last of the series on Grace. Within its walls lies a desire to show the great scope of relevance Grace plays in the total walk of Holiness. Most of the references will be in the form of summaries to be used for further investigation by the reader. Also, the bulk of materials will be from the New Testament. However, select Scriptures found in the Old Testament will introduce this study by showing how grace appeared back in ancient days.

Splaying from both of these descriptors are strands of thoughts, actions and designs which originate from their source base. All kinds of activities and consequences emanate from the two core generators.
For the first study of the New Year 2013 and continuing the series on Grace, our focus will be based on three passages in Paul's epistle to Titus. In these three passages, the reader will learn that the "Grace" Paul talks about in his salutary remarks is greater in dimension than what is held in common concepts today. He greatly refines his reader's understanding in the second and third passages of this discussion. Incorporating all the aspects addressed in Chapters 2 and 3, his
