1. Arguments are unprofitable (9-11)

There are always people who try to stir up controversy within the fellowship. We should not fall into such a trap, because arguments and controversies are generally useless and unprofitable. A divisive person should be warned not to stir up controversy. If he doesn't listen, then warn him again. If he still persists in his divisiveness, then have nothing to do with him. All of our conversation with one another should build up, not tear down.

2. Devote yourselves to doing good (12-15)

Paul urged Titus and the other coworkers to show hospitality to each other. Specifically, they should do everything possible to help two brothers, servants of God, who were passing through. God's people must work hard to provide for themselves and their families, and they must serve others joyfully and freely.

Application: Lord, protect me from using my big mouth to argue with others. Help me to devote myself to doing good to God's people.
One Word: Devote one's self to doing what is good
