THE RIGHTEOUS STUFF
Titus 3:4-7
Tom Wolfe wrote a book titled: The Right Stuff. It's about the
selection of the first group of astronauts. This group of test pilots
were screened in many ways to determine if they had the "right stuff" to dWr ti
fly in space. Lately I was called by a friend in Dallas. He is owner of
an international business and he wants to be the first private citizen in
outer space. So I wrote a letter to NASA recommending him for that

Today, let's talk about the "righteous stuff," having what it takes
to be a part of that magnificient minority called the people of God. The

Titus. It is a letter written by Paul the Apostle, to Titus, on the
island of Crete who is charged with overseeing the developing congregation
of Christians there.
"But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved
us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his
mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal of the Holy
Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our
Saviour, so that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs
having the hope of eternal life." (Titus 3:4-7) NIV
Here God's Word declares the source of the "righteous stuff."

times we see it in this scripture. In verse four and again in
verse six, it is a noun ...
