Avoid foolish controversies J. Sidlow Baxter: Somehow as we ponder this short but weighty note to Titus, we have an uneasy feeling that all too many of us modern Christians live far below its simply worded but searching standards.

We might become heirs to the hope of eternal life J.C. Ryle: True holiness, we surely ought to remember, does not consist merely of inward sensations and impressions.
