AVOID FOOLISH QUESTIONS Thursday

Text: Titus 3:9 – 11 Memory
verse: v 9
Paul
charges Titus that there are needful questions that should be discussed and
cleared, such as make for improvement in useful knowledge and glory of God; but
idle and foolish inquiries, tending neither to God's glory nor the edification
of men, must be shunned. He urged Titus not to give countenance to those who
promote Mosaic rites and ceremonies, but should avoid and oppose them; for they
are unprofitable and vain. These He referred to as those foolish questions and
genealogies, as well as those striving about the law. They are so far from
instructing and building up in godliness
In
the opinion of Paul, kind, watchful, and efficient discipline should always be
maintained in our churches. Efforts, not by pains and penalties, but by sound
argument and kind persuasion, should first be made to reclaim offenders. If all
is unavailing, Christians should separate themselves from them. This should
also be adopted in our personal relationship with people. We should avoid such
people. Arguing with them will only lead us to worldliness.
Food for Thought: Is there any good in arguing what is true?
Prayer: God do not allow me into foolish questions and argument.
