Episode 747: SHORTS: Foolish Obedience

Does Titus 3:9 teach Christians to avoid discussing God's law?

Some use Paul's warning about "foolish controversies" and "quarrels about the law" to dismiss conversations about sin, obedience, and accountability. But is that what Paul was actually addressing?

In this teaching, we examine Titus 3:9 in its biblical and historical context, exploring the genealogical disputes Paul was warning against and why those concerns should not be confused with teaching believers to obey God's commandments. Discover why confronting sin in love is not a foolish controversy but an essential part of discipleship and the Great Commission.
