There were many issues in the early Church that Paul frequently addressed, and in his epistle to Titus we discover the importance that he laid on sound teaching, Godly leadership, the refuting of legalism in the Church, and other doctrinal errors. Paul knew how vital it was to silence their voice, challenge their error, and expose their motive, knowing that they were able to shipwreck the faith of many who would blindly follow after them. Today, there is an explosion of false teachings and an abundance of demonic doctrines. The Church is saturated with this pernicious infiltration. But The Word Of God Is Powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, and Paul reminds us that the best way to refute the false is to teach the truth. The best way to combat twisted doctrine is to stand fast in the Scriptures and preach the Word of God. Paul gave the following warning: "It is necessary to silence such trouble-makers; because they overthrow whole households by teaching what they shouldn't in order to get money dishonestly." How vital therefore that individual Christians as well as pastors, teachers, elders, and evangelists study to show themselves approved unto God. How necessary to know the truth and to teach the truth of the gospel of grace in word and in deed, as we wait for Christ to return. They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we Pray that our hearts would be open to Your truth and that we are not influenced by any erroneous, legalistic lectures or prosperity teachings, but stand fast in the faith. Thank You that Christ’s sacrifice is sufficient and that our salvation does not rest on what we have to do, but on what Christ has done for us on Calvary's Cross. We are so thankful that by shedding His blood for our sins and by rising again from the dead, He paid it all so that by faith in Him, we might have the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. |
