BE BAD While shopping at a local Wal-Mart, I spotted a man with an acronym on his shirt that had B.A.D. Me, being curious, I stopped the man and asked, "What does B.A.D. stand for?" Trust me; you'll be amazed at what his response was. He replied B.A.D. stands for: "Blessed And Delivered." That thought stuck with me as I finished doing my shopping that day. So I came up with a little advice for you today. When the enemy tries to attack you, be B.A.D. When things don't seem to be going right on your job, be B.A.D. When things are not looking good in your marriage, be B.A.D. When folks scandalize your name, just be B.A.D. --author unknown to me "For the grace of God (His unmerited favor and blessing) has come forward (appeared) for the deliverance from sin and the eternal salvation for all mankind. It has trained us to reject and renounce all ungodliness (irreligion) and worldly (passionate) desires, to live discreet (temperate, self-controlled), upright, devout (spiritually whole) lives in this present world, Awaiting and looking for the [fulfillment, the realization of our] blessed hope, even the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One), Who gave Himself on our behalf that He might redeem us (purchase our freedom) from all iniquity and purify for Himself a people [to be peculiarly His own, people who are] eager and enthusiastic about [living a life that is good and filled with] beneficial deeds." Titus 2:11-14 AMP
