Interpretation: What does the text mean?
Application: How does the text apply to the Church and to the believer?
1. Read Titus 1:10-16 at least twice.
2. Read at least two commentaries on Titus 1:10-16. I appreciate what John Gill said about verse 11: "into which they creep; that is, whole families, whose principles they corrupt, whose faith they overthrow, and carry them away with their own errors; and therefore, since this was the case not of a single person, or of a few, but of whole families, it was high time to attempt to convince them, and stop their mouths, that they might proceed no further."
3. How does this text apply to the Church and to the believer?
Study Questions:
- Do we have "many rebellious men, empty talkers and "deceivers" today? If so think of some examples.
- Must we be concerned today with false teaching upsetting our families? How can we stop it from happening?
- How can we make ourselves "sound in the faith"?
- Do we deny God by our deeds?
