Text:  Titus 1:10-16

 

The Exposure of Gospel Opponents (Titus 1:10-13a)

We must detect their expanding infiltration within the church. We must recognize their ungodly character. We must silence them by removing their platform, overpowering them with truth, and giving ourselves to holy living. (MacArthur)

 

The Response to Gospel Opponents (Titus 1:13b-14)

Their teaching must be reproved, so they can repent. Their teaching must be rejected, so it will not damage the church.

 

The Verdict on Gospel Opponents (Titus 1:15-16)

The internal evaluation of their hearts: Defiled minds and consciences The external evaluation of their actions: Profession without practice
