Opening Up Titus
Overview
Think of the issues face by today’s church: establishing a well-functioning eldership, combating false teaching, upholding the importance of sound doctrine, how we are to live as Christian men and as Christian women, appreciating the grace of God in salvation, and looking forward to the coming again of our Lord Jesus. All these, and many other themes, are carefully and practically worked through in this helpful guide which opens up the message of Titus for us today.

“Grace not only brings about initial change; it enables us thereafter to live truly Christian lives.” (Page 77)
“Paul’s concern, however, was not just that faith should begin—vital as that is. He wanted to see their faith increase. On the one hand he knew that a growing faith is one of the great keys to Christian usefulness, happiness, and holiness. On the other hand he knew that God is glorified by a growing faith.” (Page 15)
“It has often been said that these three words—self-controlled, upright, and godly—each look in a different direction. Self-control has reference to ourselves; uprightness to our fellow men; and godliness to God. There is, in other words, nothing unbalanced about the life grace enables us to live.” (Page 78)
“The aim of divine grace is to make us Christians who in every area of life—man-ward, self-ward, and God-ward—are well-pleasing to God.” (Page 78)
“One very likely reason is that older men in this way will be an example to those who are younger.” (Pages 48–49)
