Sound Doctrine on Display

Elders had two tasks: encourage the believers by sound doctrine and refute those who opposed sound doctrine (Titus 1:9).  Most of the rest of Paul's Letter to Titus deals with encouraging believers by sound doctrine.  But sound doctrine is not merely knowledge about God, His Creation, His plans and purposes and you and me.  Sound doctrine has very clear and definite implications for how believers live their lives.  It is not just about how to be saved, but how should we live.  Paul begins here with instructions for older men, older women and younger women. From Titus 2:1-5.
