Watch Out! Read Titus 1:1-16 6An elder must live a blameless life. He must be faithful to his wife, and his children must be believers who don’t have a reputation for being wild or rebellious. 7For an elder must live a blameless life. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered; he must not be a heavy drinker, violent, or dishonest with money. 8Rather, he must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must love what is good. He must live wisely and be just. He must live a devout and disciplined life. 9He must have a strong belief in the trustworthy message he was taught; then he will be able to encourage others with wholesome teaching and show those who oppose it where they are wrong.Titus 1:6-9 Phonies are not always easy to spot. Some look so real that they could fool the most suspicious and skeptical people. Phony people may even believe their own scams. In this reading, Paul urges Titus to warn the Christians on Crete to beware of phonies. These false teachers are not concerned with truth. As you read, think of how you can determine truth from error, what is real from what is false. In this chapter, Paul also outlines what is required of spiritual leaders, and he reminds Titus that God always tells the truth. Paul warned Titus about people who teach wrong doctrines (Titus 1:10-14). He told this protégé and young pastor to be harsh with these false teachers because they teach from evil motives and lead people away from Christ. Some false teachers simply have misguided opinions or a poor understanding of the Bible. Others try to deceive—they pretend to be sincere while hiding their cravings for money or influence over others. Jesus and the apostles repeatedly warned against such false teachers (see Mark 13:22; Acts 20:29; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12; 2 Peter 3:3-7). Many people think that false teaching about God makes little difference. But believing falsehoods about God, Christ, or salvation can be more fatal to your faith than drinking poison. False teachings about eternal life meddle with people’s eternal destiny. Be on guard against false spiritual teachers, and be careful of any person who claims to have spiritual truth. False teachers betray their motives by pointing people away from the Bible and toward other ideas. Test all teachings by comparing them to God’s Word before letting someone teach and lead you. (Source: from ms. @catietan's devotional materials) Good morning everyone here, my fellow sweet and grateful steemians, uloggers and faithful prayer warriors. Today's devotion is all about being vigilant and firm in our faith but make sure that it is the one true & genuine faith. "***Many people think that false teaching about God makes little difference. But believing falsehoods about God, Christ, or salvation can be more fatal to your faith than drinking poison. False teachings about eternal life meddle with people’s eternal destiny."*** This has been discussed in our GLC 1 class and in the book of Galatians. I just want to make it clear though that I am not against any denominations here. I just want to share this devotion to everyone who will find time to read and examine it using their own materials, their Bibles, and other personal notes they have. "***Be on guard against false spiritual teachers, and be careful of any person who claims to have spiritual truth. False teachers betray their motives by pointing people away from the Bible and toward other ideas. Test all teachings by comparing them to God’s Word before letting someone teach and lead you."*** This, we should be reminded at all times. I know that we have our own Bible, devo materials and all and we can always reexamine it any time. Good Thursday morning everyone & back to using the onscreen keyboard. :-)❤️ Please check this link and join our prayer warriors here in steemit https://steemit.com/christian-trail/@wilx/christians-on-steemit-let-us-follow-and-support-each-other-pt-7-join-the-christian-trail I am @sashley a.k.a. shirleynpenalosa, a recipient of God's love, mercy and grace. :-)❤️ https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmcTjT35nrHXa8GRu4hLGNM84ct7sjZL2Q73gwz7cDQcdP Have a blessed and happy month of December 2018 everyone :-)❤️ I am forever grateful to God every day of my life for giving me everything that I need and praise Him all the more for not giving me everything I want.
