Titus 2:7–8 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.
1 Peter 2:12 having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.
When the Lord called us to be His ambassadors, He didn’t merely give us a message — He gave us a lifestyle to embody it. An ambassador is not just a messenger, but a living representation of the Kingdom they serve. That means our behavior, words, and example all matter deeply.
Paul tells Titus to “show yourself to be a pattern of good works.” Not just a voice of truth, but a living pattern, a mold others can look to. This pattern is shaped by integrity, reverence, and incorruptibility—traits that are increasingly rare in a world of compromise. Our doctrine must not only be sound; it must be anchored in character. This is how an ambassador earns trust — not by title, but by testimony.
Peter echoes the same heart. Even when the world speaks evil against you, they’re watching. And when your conduct is consistently honorable—even under pressure—your actions speak louder than any accusation. You silence critics not with argument, but with observable righteousness. And ultimately, it leads to something greater: they may glorify God.
We don’t defend the Kingdom by force — we reveal it by how we live. In a cynical culture, our incorruptibility becomes radical. In a world obsessed with spin, our sound speech and integrity become prophetic.
You were not chosen to merely echo Kingdom words — you were commissioned to embody Kingdom reality. In a world drowning in deception, compromise, and shallow influence, God is raising up ambassadors whose lives thunder louder than their lips. When your conduct reflects Heaven, when your integrity holds under fire, and when your speech remains seasoned with grace—you preach a Gospel that cannot be silenced.
This is not the hour for half-hearted witness. The world doesn’t need more noise; it needs living proof. When they see you walk in purity, honor, and unwavering truth — they see a glimpse of the King you represent. That is the integrity of an ambassador: one whose life makes it impossible to ignore the glory of God.
So stand tall. Live clean. Speak wisely. Let your life expose the counterfeit by being unmistakably real. Because when the day of visitation comes—and it will—may those who once scoffed say, “I saw the Lord in them… and now I believe.”

[worthy_plugins_devotion_single_body]Over the past month, it seems that we’ve been dealing with different internet issues … and hopefully, these issues will be resolved sooner rather than later. Being that the bulk of our ministry is based upon the internet, it can be problematic at times, especially when you’re suddenly disconnected from the web!
As we continue this study of the Dead Sea scrolls, authorities announced the discovery of several more scrolls as their extensive search for more hidden caves and treasures continues. Given the “coincidence” of the events described in previous devotionals, God’s providential involvement in these developments becomes clear. His Word tells us what is about to happen, and new discoveries of Biblical texts seem to be directly related to modern prophetic fulfillments.
As we continue this study of the Dead Sea Scrolls we jump to 1963 and the unearthing of Masada.
Flavius Josephus the Jewish historian recorded the tragic events at Masada in “The Jewish Wars.” Masada was ignored for years as it reminded the Rabbis of the failures of the many false messiahs that appeared after Yeshua (Jesus).
As we continue into the historical and prophetic significance of the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls, I take you back to 1948. Professor Eleazar Sukenik discovered that Mar Athanasius Yeshue Samuel, the Syrian Orthodox Archbishop of Jerusalem purchased several of the Dead Sea scrolls. So Professor Sukenik visited the archbishop and took several photos of the scrolls which were then sent to William Albright, a Biblical archaeologist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
As we’ve been travelling around the U.S., we’ve been trying to take extra care of ourselves, taking vitamins and disinfecting our hands regularly as not to get sick.

A century ago, Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital, was a thriving center of Christianity, earning the nickname “Jerusalem of the East.” The early 1900s saw rapid Christian growth, especially after the 1907 Pyongyang Revival, sparked by a meeting between Western missionaries and local believers. At its peak, about 30% of the population were practicing Christians, and the city was filled with thousands of churches.
