What Are You Talking About?

Titus 2:1
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

We have all walked up on a conversation and wondered what in the world they were talking about. If I was to come upon a conversation between two mechanics I would probably have no idea what they are talking about. If it was a 350 Chevrolet engine, I could hang with them in the conversation but these modern cars...I'm out.

Then we have all came upon those conversations that we really wish we had never walked into right? The ones that are foolish or especially the ones that are bashing another person. I sometimes feel like holding up my hands and walking away with my fingers in my ears. One last one, what about those conversations of false doctrines? These are the ones that our Lord is talking about this morning. He tells us that we should speak the things which are sound doctrine.

What does this mean? We should put away our senseless genealogies and endless traditions. We should search the scriptures and find true, firm, sound doctrine. There are too many arguments in the house of God today about minor issues and not enough of discernment over the major issues. Christians argue among themselves about trivial things from carpet colors to the debated "pews or chairs" concern. Then when it comes to matters of faith and sound doctrine, we cow down and allow everyone to choose their own belief or decision.

God says that we should speak those things which become sound doctrine. Until we become sure and sound about the doctrine of the Bible we can't go on to the next verses found in our scripture this morning. The next few speak about teaching this to children, women, and men who are younger. Let me end this morning by asking you a question. What are you talking about?
