In Paul’s letter to Titus he commands Titus to teach “sound doctrine”; the idea behind this phrase isn’t right thinking; it’s right living. In fact, the New Living Testament interprets this verse as “Promote the kind of living that reflects right teaching.” Many people, even those within the church, cannot escape the fact that the Bible is a book that tells us HOW TO LIVE! People would prefer to have teaching that would inspire and encourage, not teaching that would convict and correct! In Matthew 28:19-21, Jesus said that we were to teach “them ALL THINGS that I have commanded you.”
