Monday Titus 1:8 As an elder, I must enjoy having guests in my home and must love all that is good. I must live wisely and be fair. I must live a devout and disciplined life. Tuesday Titus 1:9 I must have a strong and steadfast belief in the trustworthy message I was taught; then I will be able to encourage others with right teaching and show those who oppose it where they are wrong. Wednesday Titus 1:10 For there are many who rebel against right teaching; I will not engage in useless talk and deceive people. I will not insist on circumcision for salvation. Thursday Titus 1:11 This teaching must be silenced. By wrong teaching already whole families have been turned away from the truth. Such teachers only want money. Friday Titus 1:12 Of these teachers, such has been said of them...“They are all liars; they are cruel animals and lazy gluttons..” Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers 3936.
