Titus 3

Remind the believers:
--to be subject to rulers and authorities
--to obey
--to be ready for every good work
--to speak evil of no one
--to be peaceable
--to be gentle
--to show humility to all men

We used to be (before salvation):
--foolish
--disobedient
--deceived
--serving various lusts and pleasures
--living in malice and envy
--hateful and hating one another

Those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are profitable to men. (for salvation).
I'm reminded of Matthew 5:16 “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."

We should avoid:
--foolish disputes
--genealogies
--contentions
--strivings about the law
For these things are unprofitable and useless.

Reject a divisive man after 2 warnings (See Matthew 18 for conflict with a brother)
