Guard the Pure Message

Whenever you teach people, you have to make sure that you tell them the same true message that I told you before. Don’t let anyone get you to change it into a wrong message. That message is something really special, and you really have to look after it properly. — 2 Timothy 1:13 | Plain English Version (PEV) Plain English Version Bible © 2021 Wycliffe Bible Translators Australia.

TITUS S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 2

Wednesday, 9/4/24

SCRIPTURE:

But you should talk in a way that is consistent with sound teaching. Tell the older men to be sober, dignified, sensible, and healthy in respect to their faith, love, and patience. ~ Titus 2:1,2

OBSERVATION:

This whole chapter is a solid list of "Applications" for how I should talk and act - especially now that I'm among the "older men..." 

Sound teaching requires discernment - wisdom - understanding - 

My words - in all things - need to reflect what I've learned - and lived - under and through and in His grace and merciful forgiveness...

Likewise my actions will be "sober, dignified, sensible, and healthy in respect to my faith, love, and patience" if and when I lean into those sound teachings that I've learned and followed and applied... 

APPLICATION:

Talk in a way that is consistent with sound teaching.

Be sober, dignified, sensible, healthy

Verses 6-10:

Encourage others to be sensible 

Offer myself as a role model

Show integrity, seriousness, and a sound message

Make the teaching about God and Jesus attractive in every way

Verse 12: Live, sensibly, ethically, godly/reject ungodly desires

Verse 15: Encourage and correct 

PRAYER:

Gracious forgiving Father God - I confess to sometimes going off the deep end, reacting selfishly in word and action without pausing first to consider the soundness of what I'm saying and doing as opposed to what I've been taught and what I know and then recall in shame and regret. I thank You for Your Holy Spirit Who is at work in and around me to reign in my will for Yours, to pause and consider Your glory in everything I do so that others might also come to know and receive Your mercy offered through Your Son Jesus - In His Name, and for Your worshipful praise in all things, Father - all things...

Closing with verse 13:

Waiting with you for the blessed hope and the glorious appearance of our great God and savior Jesus Christ.

Wholesome words and sound doctrine

Paul implored Timothy to adhere strictly to the teachings he had imparted, emphasizing the need to remain true to the doctrine which was divinely revealed to him. In 1Tim.6:3-5, Paul closes his epistle with the statement in the image above. Paul presses upon the need to be faithful to the message given him by revelation, which he says in Tit.1:2-3 was, “promised before the ages began” but made…

Equipping believers for every aspect of life and godliness

In 2Tim.3:16, Paul encourages Timothy to use the scriptures as a powerful tool in his ministry. Teaching (what you need to know): Impartation of knowledge and understanding of God’s Word. Teaching guides one in the principles and doctrines of the truth, enabling learning and growth in the faith. Reproof (behaviour; does it match the doctrine?): The act of correcting or pointing out errors in…

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine

People often see their own faults in others. For example, a liar believes that everyone else is also a liar, and a thief sees everyone as suspect. Similarly, an unbeliever cannot comprehend how someone can have faith. An unbeliever considers faith to be foolish. Judas, who was consumed by greed, couldn’t appreciate the sacrifice of the Lord at the supper. When our minds and consciences are…
