Titus Part 9

No one loves being wrong but some people hate it. When being wrong and hating to be found wrong live in the same moment, the results can be catastrophic for the person and for the group. Paul is clear in coaching us and Titus: mistakes happen. Everyone is in a process of change; putting off old ways, old desires, old patterns and putting on new ones. As we mature, we change our minds, our attitudes and change our behaviours. To get to that place, others will speak into our lives. Who can tell you that you are wrong? Who can tell you that the differences you prefer are not good for you or others? Can you receive healthy correction and participate in productive conflict? Today as we conclude our studies in Titus, we learn that thriving in our city means that we cannot avoid internal conflict. How we engage in conflict and bring correction is key to our maintaining a healthy Church community. Self discipline and Church disciple are as essential to fulfilling our mission with God, as is loving Him and doing good works which show our love for others.
