Teachings Of Titus #3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

In the previous sermon in this series, in Titus 1:10-16, Paul dealt with the false teachers, and told Titus that their mouths must be stopped.

Why? Because he said the words they were preaching were damnable words that were “Subverting whole households” to go astray. One of the sad things about those who fall into false religions is that they aggressively do everything they can to convert their complete families. This is typical of the ...read more
