THINGS TO AVOID

Titus 3:9-11

But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.

Personal Challenge

We live in a very contentious age. People have become conditioned to be mean and nasty to each other. This behavior is so contradictory to the teachings of Jesus Christ and yet practiced by so many who claim to be His followers. You cannot have it both ways. As this passage instructs us to reject a divisive person after the first and second admonition, I have chosen to unfriend and block people in my social media who confront the truth in contentious and divisive ways. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
