Romans Chapter 8 states that because of the finished work of Christ, the believer is free from all condemnation (Rom 8:1–11). It then says that by means of the continuing work of the Spirit, the believer is free from the dominion of sin (Rom 8:12–27). It concludes that on the basis of God’s sovereign and eternal plan, the believer is free as a result of the defeat of sin (Rom 8:28–39). This book was originally a set of notes given out at the October 2009 Kansas Conference.

Titus #7

Titus #7

Titus was authority oriented and sent to Crete because of issues there (Tit 1:5, Tit 1:10-13). The pastor's primary task is to teach the word (Tit 1:9). "vain talkers" refers to speaking without content (1Ti 1:6-7). "Deceivers" lead the mind away from the Bible. Examples of people that illustrate Cretians (Num 16:1-50, Jud 1:11, Jer 5:30-31, Jer 20:11, Phi 3:18-19). Deceivers don't accept authority (2Jo 1:7-11, 3Jo 1:9-11). Spiritual authority is unlike others; not like a father or coach or military officer or policeman. Discipline is simply turned over to God. The Word is actually the authority. What do you do with Cretians? "Reprove them severely, that they may be sound in the faith" (Tit 1:13).
