Today's Scripture
Titus 2:1
As for you, Titus, promote the kind of living that reflects wholesome teaching.
Notice the emphasis on "wholesome teaching" in Paul's instructions to Titus.
This is the content of our faith.
But how can you recognize wholesome teaching ? When a teaching is sound, it combines correct knowledge and understanding with consistent practice. It must be found in the Bible, keep Jesus central, result in consistently good behavior and actions, and promote spiritual health in ourselves and others.
Believers must be grounded in the truths of the Bible so they won't be swayed by the powerful oratory of false teachers, the possible devastation of tragic circumstances, or the pull of emotions. Those responsible for preaching and teaching must challenge people to understand sound doctrine. Learn the Bible, study theology, apply biblical principles, and live what you learn !
Heavenly Father,we long to know you more. We want to live out your Word in our lives. We want to be grounded in Your Truths. Place a hedge of protection around each one of us Lord God and guide us to live wholesome lives.Help us to also teach those around us by our words, encouragement, and most of all by the way we live ! In Jesus' Precious Name we pray, Amen..
God Bless You
