    The Secret Life Of Titus Series

     | 2,277 views

    We might think that Titus had a boring life. He is never mentioned in the book of Acts. But when we piece together the life of Titus from Galatians, 2 Corinthians, 2 Timothy and the book of Titus we realize Titus had one of the most adventure filled ministries of anyone we find in the Bible.

    In the movie the Secret Life of Walter Mitty we see Walter who works at Life Magazine developing pictures. He is leading a very boring life. Because his life is so boring he daydreams of having exciting adventures where he is at the center of danger and excitement. But then back at work he finds ...read more
