Galatians 1:8

Paul tells us to fear those who teach a false gospel because they are accursed and their message leads to death. Whether it’s an ear tickling gospel, a prosperity gospel, or a works based gospel, if it doesn’t line up with God’s gospel, it’s a false gospel. False gospels keep us chained to rules and laws. They lead to destruction by telling us there are many roads to God. And false gospels tell us that through our own efforts we can earn everlasting life. But the one true gospel of Jesus Christ gives us freedom and joy, not bondage and despair. It wipes clean our record, declaring us innocent and blameless. As fallen people with fallen hearts, we cannot fathom such a pure, perfect, and unconditional love as God’s. A love whose height knows no limits, and whose depth knows no end. And most wonderful of all, a love not earned but offered freely to everyone who receives Jesus as their Savior. This is the Good News of Jesus Christ. And this is the one and only true gospel!

August 14th – Titus 1:7

Titus 1:7

The church at Crete was struggling, so Paul instructed Titus to appoint elders as overseers. Not an easy job, because the church was being influenced by the morally corrupt Cretan culture. The men Titus chose had to be spiritual, with characters above reproach. For they would need strength against the evil and ungodly pulls of the world. Much like today, the believers at Crete lived in a society which was trying to rid itself of God. But no matter what this wicked world says or does, the Lord calls us to hold fast to the truth of His Word. For we too are overseers in God’s church. Elders who need to lead godly lives, allowing Christ to work in and through us. Drawing others to Him through kindness, goodness, honesty, and patience. And when we know God’s truths and hold them in our hearts, we won’t be led astray by false teachers, wrong doctrines, and those “who turn away from the truth” (Titus 1:14).
