There is a difference between arguments that feed vanity and self-importance and arguments intended to edify and benefit the other. The former is what Paul refers to as foolish, unprofitable and useless. These we are to avoid and instead engage with those prone to divisiveness in such a way that these things stop. While we often mistake kindness to mean being non-confrontational, it is actually better understood as being *wisely* confrontational, that is confronting when necessary for the benefit of others and the in service of repentance, growth and freedom.  As we conclude our study of Titus, remember Paul's main takeaway is to keep the Gospel always at the center and keep on course with conduct that reflects gospel transformation. During our sermon series we have encouraged you to memorize Titus 2:11-14 to this end. We pray that tucking this verse into your heart will serve as a regular reminder of the Grace of the Lord that is with you!For this week **practice reciting the full passage from memory!** 11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. ---Titus 2:11-14Great Job!!
