As you read and hear men preach,
you will hear or read various terms with which you may or may
not be familiar, sometimes terms referring to various aspects
of gospel truth, and sometimes terms referring to various aspects
of heresy. And the terms themselves are
really insignificant. For the sake of brevity, we use
terms to identify things, much like we use a name to identify
a person. I want to speak very plainly, by way of introduction
tonight, about four damning heresies. They are common today, and they
have been common throughout the history of the Church of our
Lord. They have been common since the
very beginning. They were called by different
names at different times, but these are damning heresies. Now,
just understand, there is a huge difference between that which
is damning heresy and error in doctrine. Men and women may be
errant in many areas. Indeed, all of us are. But that
which is damning, if you believe it, you're lost. Number one. Gnosticism, that's a big word.
This is what it means. Salvation is nothing more than
knowledge. Just knowledge. Denies the necessity
and denies in reality the new birth. Not that fellows will
stand up and say you don't have to be born again. But they deny
the necessity of the Spirit's work in regeneration, denying
that men and women must be born again and come to know Christ
by special, personal, divine revelation. Paul said, when it
pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, to reveal
His Son, not to me, in me. In me. Paul deals with this matter
of Gnosticism in Colossians chapter 2, warning us to beware of philosophy
and vain deceit. John's Gospel warns us of it.
For the most part, the early Gnostics denied the deity of
our Lord Jesus Christ and many other things, but that's not
essential to what I'm talking about. Many who give lit service
to all truth Believing that the knowledge of that truth itself
is salvation are lost in what they believe. And those who follow
them are. Here's the second. Free willism. You hear us use the words free
will. You hear folks on television
use the words free will. Men just all the time talk about
man's free will, man's free will. What an imaginary conceit that
is. Man's free will. There is absolutely
nothing free about man's will. Nothing. Nothing. Man's will
is like his mind and his heart and his thoughts. It is determined
by his nature. And the nature of man is bondage
and corruption. The scriptures speak very plainly.
Salvation is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth,
but of God that showeth mercy. Those who teach that salvation
somehow is accomplished by, or somehow depends upon, man's free
choice, man's free will, are what Paul calls in the last verse
of Colossians 2, will worshipers. They're not worshipers of God,
they are will worshipers. Worshipers of their own will.
This is what Paul speaks of in 2 Thessalonians 2 and calls it
the work of antichrist. So that this beast, this false
prophet, this deceiver sets himself up in the temple of God demanding
that he be worshiped as God. And that's going on all over
Danville, Kentucky tonight. Men and women sitting in the
house of God pretending to worship God Demanding that God bow to
their will. Demanding that man be worshiped
as God. Oh, we wouldn't do that. We wouldn't
do that. Folks do it all the time. Most of us were raised
doing it. Taught to do it. We are persuaded
by all thought outside the kingdom of God to worship ourselves as
though we were God. Anyone who believes that God
can be controlled by man's will, worships himself rather than
God. Here's a third one. Legalism. That is the teaching that somehow
salvation is accomplished by what you do. Legalism is not
to be limited. When you hear that term, we speak
of legalist. The scriptures speak of those
legalizers, or those Judaizers and legalists at Galatia. When
we speak of legalism, we're not just suggesting that men teach
that we're under the law. That's legalism. That's legalism.
But men come along with their own laws. And they corrupt the
Word of God, adding to the Word of God their own traditions.
They say, you've got to do this. You've got to do that. You've
got to do the other thing. If you vainly imagine that you must
do something to make yourself righteous before God, justified,
sanctified, it doesn't matter. If you vainly imagine you must
do something to give yourself acceptance with God, you're a
legalist and you're lost. What did Paul say? If any man
be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. Nothing. Now, lest you imagine,
well, you're talking about things that don't affect us. This book
affects us. And when Paul says if anyone's
circumcised, Galatians chapter 5, you can read it for yourself,
Christ shall profit you nothing. I don't suspect any of you here
are fixing to go out and be circumcised tomorrow morning, men or women. Well, that doesn't apply to us.
It does if you understand what Paul is saying, what the Spirit
of God is saying. If you do anything, if you do anything, if you do
anything, I don't care whether it's reading your Bible, memorizing
scripture, observing the Lord's Supper, getting baptized, or
praying five hours every morning before you go to work. If you
do anything by which you hope to win God's favor, you've missed
Christ. Christ shall profit you nothing. And there is another horrible,
horrible evil that is common among men. The word used to describe
it is antinomianism. That's a big word. It simply
teaches that one is against the law. That's what the word means.
It is the doctrine that says that salvation is by grace alone. If works have nothing to do with
a person's acceptance with God, it doesn't matter how we live.
Since there is no law to regulate and govern No law to regulate
and govern character and conduct. Those things are of no importance
to the believer. All legalists are described by
Jude as antinomians. Turn to Jude. I want you to look
at it before we get to our text. Jude, verse 4. All who teach that somehow salvation
does depend on something you do. conclude that the preaching
of free grace is antinomianism. When our Lord Jesus came preaching
the gospel of God's grace, they accused him of being an antinomian.
They said he's a glutton and a wine-bibber. When Paul came
preaching free grace, they said he's an antinomian. He said,
let us sin that grace may abound. I have, for 40 years, been accused
of being an antinomian, folks. When they can't refute things
preached, they resort to slander. Oh, he's an antinomian. Be careful.
Everywhere I go, anywhere in this country, out of this country,
before I get to where I'm going, someone will tell me, well, I
was warned not to come listen to you because they told me you
was an antinomian. And I don't mind the slander.
That doesn't bother me. I count it an honor when those
who oppose God and His grace oppose me. That's no bother to
me. But I want you to understand clearly the evil. Jude, verse
4. For there are certain men crept
in unawares who were before of old ordained to this condemnation,
ungodly men, ungodly men. Now read Jude's epistle carefully. You will find that as he described
these ungodly false prophets throughout this epistle down
to verse 19, he doesn't say one thing about drunkenness or adultery. or fornication, or any kind of
lasciviousness, doesn't mention those things at all. He's talking
about religiously ungodly men. Ungodly men who practice religion,
ungodly men who think they make themselves righteous by what
they do. What do they do? Turning the grace of our God
into lasciviousness. They're saying, well, it's salvation
by grace alone. That'll open the floodgates to
sin. That'll cause men and women to
live like hell. That'll cause folks to live in
ungodly ways. Oh, we don't dare teach salvation
by grace alone. And in doing so, look at this,
and denying the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. Having
said that, having said that, I know people. I know people. who claim to be believers, who
claim to believe the gospel of God's free grace, who would agree
with everything I've said to you up to this point, but they
have no interest in the worship of God, no interest in God's
church, no interest in God's glory. I have heard and read
these very words from these men. I believe in salvation by grace. My works don't matter. I've known
some over the years who've gone so far as to excuse and to justify
or at least be indifferent to drunkenness, fornication, and
adultery, saying salvation is by grace. We can't judge these
matters. That is absurd and damning. That is absurd and damning. It is in every way contrary to
the plainest revelation of Holy Scripture. When the gospel of
God's free grace in Christ went to the pagan Gentile world, a
world just like the world in which we live, a world with no
moral scruples, a world where drunkenness, homosexuality, adultery,
fornication were just as rampant as they are today. when the gospel
of God's grace penetrated the hearts of men in those days,
just as it does today when God the Holy Spirit makes it effectual
to salvation. It changed men's lives. Read the 6th chapter of Romans,
the 5th chapter of Ephesians. Paul said, don't let these things
be named among you. You have not so learned Christ. You have not so learned Christ.
I fully realize, acknowledge as I've said, that it's impossible
to preach free grace in Jesus Christ and not be accused by
men of being an antinomian. But the fact is, anyone who really
is antinomian, let me be clear, anyone who has no regard for
the law of God, the word of God, the honor of God, the name of
God, the grace of God and seeks to use God's grace as an excuse
or a covering for sin, is lost and utterly ignorant of our Lord
Jesus Christ. He is as lost as any pagan in
the world. With that in mind, I want you
to turn to Titus chapter 2. This is how Paul describes such
folks. In verse 1 of Titus, verse 16,
he said, that they know God, but in works they deny him, being
abominable and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Now I've said all those things,
and I repeat what Paul said to the Ephesians, what Paul says
to us. You have not so learned Christ.
You have not so learned Christ. Tonight I want to talk to you
from this second chapter of Titus about the teaching of grace.
The Apostle Paul is here instructing Titus in the work of the gospel
ministry. He is instructing Titus and all
gospel preachers, telling us how to lead, teach, and instruct
God's saints in the gospel. The gospel of the grace of God
teaches It doesn't throw out lessons, it teaches all to whom
it is revealed that salvation is by grace alone. And it teaches
all who believe Christ how to live in this world for the glory
of God. As we look at these 15 verses,
let me call your attention to several things. Number one, in
the first 10 verses, if you'll skip down to the 10th verse,
you'll see what the summary is. Paul is telling us how to behave
ourselves so that we may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior
in all things. Adorn the doctrine. Adorn the
doctrine. Unless I am deceived, unless
I am a man who's totally ignorant of what God has done for me and
is doing for me, unless I'm totally ignorant of that which I have
experienced these past 40 years. God Almighty planted a desire
in my soul that is more and more consuming every day, 40 years
ago, to honor Him. to adorn the doctrine of God
our Savior. A passion, a desire of which I find myself more earnest
all the time because I find myself more and more needing to seek
His grace that I may adorn the doctrine He's taught me. Now
this is both our personal responsibility and our high honor and privilege.
I hope it's our desire. We are to set forth in our lives,
as well as in our doctrine, the beauty, the glory, the attractiveness
of the gospel. If we would persuade men and
women to believe the gospel we preach, We must live by the gospel
to the glory of God. If we would honor Christ and
the gospel of his grace in this world, our lives must be, we
want them to be, regulated and governed by the gospel of his
grace. As a pastor, look at verse 1,
as a preacher of the gospel, I am responsible before God and
you to adorn the doctrine of God our Savior by faithfully
preaching it. He says, but speak thou the things
which become sound doctrine. Every preacher has a mandate
from God. Every man called of God has a
mandate from God. We're in the midst of political
season, and we stay in the midst of political season in this country,
and preachers or politicians run for office on a mandate.
Of course it changes from day to day depending on how the wind
blows. But God's servants are men given a mandate from God
and it is exactly the same for every preacher in every place
in every age. What is that? We are to declare
constantly the things which become sound doctrine. The doctrine
we preach is the doctrine of grace. It is called the doctrine
of Christ. And as you read the scripture,
note this carefully. The doctrine of God is never
referred to in plural. Never. Every time in this book
you read the word doctrine in plural, you read doctrines, every
time it's talking about doctrines of devils. We divide things up
and we talk about various doctrines. The doctrine of God is singular,
so that everything taught in this book, taught by our Savior,
taught by the Spirit of God, is the doctrine of God, our Savior. It is doctrine, sound doctrine,
is doctrine that is consistent with and honoring to God. The doctrine, we declare, is
God's sovereign character, sovereignty in all things. I wouldn't give
you a flip whether a man believes in the sovereignty of God or
not. I want you to believe God who is sovereign. There's a huge
difference. There's a huge difference. The
doctrine of God is the doctrine of substitution. It is the declaration
that Jesus Christ is the sinner's substitute, in whom and by whom
alone we have righteousness, life, and salvation forever. The doctrine of God our Savior
is the declaration of justice satisfied by Christ and life
bestowed by Christ. It is the doctrine we declare.
Specifically, gospel preachers are responsible to pointedly
apply the gospel. these very things, God's sovereign
character, Christ's substitutionary accomplishments. We are to pointedly
apply these things to the daily affairs and responsibilities
of men and women in this world. It is a pastor's responsibility
to faithfully teach people how to live day by day for God's
glory, applying the Word of God to every area of life. This comes as a shock to some
folks. When Christ comes in, he always
comes in as king. He takes over. He takes over. I have a problem with that. And
the problem I have with that is called proud, rebellious flesh. I have a problem with it. I have
a problem with Him being King. I have a problem with Him being
Lord. Not a problem that arises from anything I've experienced
by His grace, but purely from my proud, rebellious flesh. And He keeps beating that down
into submission. Thank God He does. Not voluntarily. Oh, no. The
flesh will never yield to Him. But He will rule! Cause he's
king. He insists on having his way.
Now, this is what Paul teaches us in verses two through 10.
He's telling us that the gospel interferes with men's lives.
Interferes with our lives. And if it doesn't interfere with
your life, you don't know it. Just that simple. Well, how does
it interfere with our lives? Look at these next nine verses.
And you'll see that Paul applies it pointedly to just about everybody
in this world who professes faith in Christ. In verse 2, he speaks
to aged men. Boy, I hate to admit it, I fall
in that category. Aged, older fellows. Older fellows. You're not there yet, Mike, but
your father-in-law is. Older fellows. That's what it says.
Let the aged men be sober. Quit acting like boys. Grave,
serious-minded, temperate. Control your passions. Sound
in faith. Make certain that you are. Sound
in charity. Make certain that you are. Sound
in patience. Make certain that you are. Look
at verses 3 and 4. He talks about the old women.
The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh
holiness. Not be in behavior so as to become
holy. No. He's talking to folks who
are already holy in Christ. He says behave like folks who
have been made holy by God's grace. Not false accusers. Stop gossiping. Stop gossiping. Just quit it. Just quit it. False
accusers. Somebody ought to sew your teeth
together. Stop gossiping. Not given to
much wine. That doesn't mean you can't have
a glass of wine with your evening meal or have it for breakfast
if you want to. That's not what I'm talking about. Don't get
to be drunks. Not given to much wine. Teachers
of good things. Oh, you ladies. Raise your daughters. Have influence around children.
You have such an opportunity and responsibility. Teach them
good things. Good things. Not evil. Not evil. What is that? That they may teach the young
women how to be sober. Teach young women to be young
ladies. Sober-minded. Not frivolous. Not rash. But sober-minded. That is, in the case of the young
ladies, to love their husbands. Teach them to love their husbands.
How's that? By loving them, taking care of
them, doing what's needful to take care of them, and to love
their children. Do you mean folks have to be
taught that? Have to be taught to do it right. Have to be taught
to do it right. Look at verse 5. Young women.
Teach them to be discreet, chaste, What a strange word this day.
Keepers at home. Oh, women ought never take a
job. If you care to look at Habakkuk chapter 2, you'll find out that
Paul speaks, or the prophet Habakkuk speaks of a terrible thing with
regard to men in the fifth verse who refuse to keep at home. They're
not talking about, you know, a woman can't work. That's not
it. But this is what aged women, aged in the grace of God, are
to teach young women born in the kingdom of God. Teach them
to make their homes, their lives. You ladies, I don't care what
society says is all right. It doesn't matter what this generation
suggests is okay. Women were created by God to
be helpmeet to men, finding their fulfillment and satisfaction
in the man they marry and to keep his home. Be keepers at
home. Make your husband the principal
sphere of your life and care and attention and activity. And
if you do, I promise you, your children will profit by it as
well. Read on, verse 6. In verse 5 he says, do this,
to be chaste keepers at home. Good, good. Obedient to their
own husbands. Oh, you can't say that. That's
archaic. That's sexist. That's chauvinism. That's Christianity. That the
Word of God be not blasphemed. Verse 6. Young men likewise exhort
to be sober-minded. Men take a wife, get married,
especially religious men, and they want to flex their muscles.
I'm the man of my house. But they act like little boys,
and so there's conflict. Be sober-minded. Men be sober-minded. Act like men. I took a dear friend
of mine. I've known him since he was born. God seems to be doing some things
in his life. Last time I saw him, I put my
arms around him and I said, listen to me now. His daddy's standing
right beside him and verifying everything I said. If you think
God's going to use you, might use you in teaching and preaching
the gospel of God's grace, quit acting like a boy. Act like an
old man. When you get to being an old
man, you start acting like a little boy a little bit. But for now, dress like
an old man, talk like an old man, act like an old man. Don't
make rash decisions. Don't do it. Don't do it. Young men need to be taught to
be sober, sober, sober-minded. And then he talks to pastors,
verses 7 and 8. In all things, showing thyself
a pattern of good works. in doctrine, showing uncorruptness,
gravity, sincerity, sound speech, sound speech that cannot be condemned,
that he that is of a contrary part may be ashamed, having no
evil thing to say of you." What's that saying? The pastor is supposed
to live in such a way that men can never say anything bad about
him? That would be nice, but it doesn't happen. It shouldn't
happen. It doesn't matter how you live. Our Lord lived a pretty
good life, didn't he? He lived a pretty good life on
this earth. And folks found something bad to say about him. They found
something bad. If he forgave an adulteress,
they found something bad to say about him. If he turned water
into wine, they found something bad to say about him. If he fed
mulch to you, they found something bad to say about him. You can't
live in such a way that men won't speak evil of you. But he does
command that the pastor, the man who leads God's people in
the worship of God, behave himself in such a way, both in his doctrine
and in his life, that men and women cannot refute his doctrine,
his preaching, by pointing to that which is inconsistent in
his life. He is to be a pattern, an example,
And then in verses 9 and 10 he tells us to exhort servants to
be obedient to their old masters. In other words, Larry Criss works
for the state of Kentucky. Your responsibility is to be
the best employee they've got over there. That's exactly what
it means. And to please them well in all
things, not answering their Not purloining, laundering around
doing nothing. Give eight hours work for eight
hours pay. Showing all good fidelity that they may adorn the doctrine
of God our Savior in all things. Now, look at verse 11. Here's
the reason. For the grace of God that bringeth
salvation hath appeared to all men. The grace of God as it is
used here, refers to the gospel I'm preaching to you right now.
It refers to the message of God's grace. And Paul tells us here
that the grace of God brings salvation. This is how God brings
salvation to sinners, is by the preaching of the gospel. Let
us adorn this gospel of God's free grace in every aspect of
our lives. Here's the importance. It is
this message by which God saves sinners. It's appeared to all
men. That doesn't mean that it's appeared
to every man in the world. You know better than that. I
know better than that. It means that it appears to men
everywhere, every rank and society. Because God has his elect everywhere
in all parts of society. The gospel of the grace of God
that brings salvation has appeared to men and women everywhere.
So let us adorn the gospel everywhere. Now look at verse 12. Here Paul
speaks to us about the teaching of grace. The grace of God that
brings salvation. This message of grace that we
are to adorn teaches us, teaches us. All the years I spent in
school and college, I had just one or two teachers. Just one
or two. Just one or two teachers. Now they didn't have much of
a pupil, but I had one or two teachers. Even the bad teachers
had a bad pupil, so not everything their fault. I don't blame them
for me not getting any education. But a teacher, If not, somebody goes to school,
gets a degree, and the state says they're now certified to
teach. Lots of folks do that who are not teachers. A teacher
is somebody who sees to it that you learn. That's a teacher. That's a teacher.
I can recall a couple of professors I had in school. They saw to
it that you learn or you don't stay in the school. They saw
to it, you learned. You didn't just hear the lesson,
you got the lesson. And when the grace of God comes,
when God the Holy Spirit comes in saving grace, He doesn't just
give you a lesson. He doesn't just give you some
facts to learn. He teaches you. He sees to it
that you get the lesson. This grace of God has appeared
to God's people everywhere, teaching us, teaching all of His people.
that denying ungodliness and worldly lust, denying religion without God. Whenever you read that word ungodliness,
we use it to talk about murder, rape, and adultery. The book
of God uses it to talk about religion without God. The grace
of God teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lust, the other things
too. We should live soberly, righteously,
and godly in this present world. The grace of God teaches us to
live right. It teaches us to live right.
Teaches us with respect to ourselves, there's that word again, to live
soberly. Soberly. With respect to others,
to live righteously. To deal with men honestly. With respect to God, godly. How come you're bought with a
price? You're not your own. To glorify God in your bodies
and in your spirits, which are God's. Godly. Now, look at verse
13. How is it we are to live like
this? How is it that we are to adorn the doctrine of God our
Savior's? Regulating our lives, no matter what it costs. Governing
our lives, no matter what it costs. By the gospel of God's
grace. That's just too much. That's
too much. Is it now? That depends on what you're looking
for. That depends on what you're looking
for. Looking for that blessed hope. Oh, I'm looking for an
inheritance. No, I'm looking for Christ. I'm
looking for security. I've got that. I'm looking for
Christ. I'm looking for better days. I'm looking for the better
day. I'm looking for Christ. Looking
for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great
God and our Savior, Jesus Christ. Brother Randall back here asked
me this morning about a theological term used with regard to prophetic
things. I've never heard that before.
I said, you hadn't missed anything. You hadn't missed anything. Folks
want to debate about when Christ is coming. Man, I don't care
when He's coming or when He comes. He's coming now, been coming
for 2,000 years. John said in Revelation 1, 7,
Behold, He cometh. He's on the way right now. He's
on the way right now. He doesn't tell us to look for
signs. Nowhere in this book does He
tell us to look for signs of the Lord's coming. But men do
it everywhere. It doesn't tell us to look for signs of the end
of time. Oh, this is the last stage of what's going on over
in Israel. Every time something new happens in Israel, any new
conflict among the Israelis and Arabs, some religious prophet
fool will write a book and millions of folks will buy it. This is
it! This is it! Oh, this is it! We've got it now. And then when
it comes to pass, it blows over, and nothing happens. Do you know
nobody stops to think? We've heard that nonsense before.
No, we're not looking for dates. We're not looking for a religious
system. We're looking for the appearing of Christ. Live today
and tomorrow and all the days of your life for the glory of
God, standing on the tiptoe of faith, expecting Christ to appear
right now. Right now. Oh, God, give me grace
so to live. Looking for that blessed hope
and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior,
Jesus Christ. Now, look at the 14th verse. Here's the motivation for all
that I'm saying. who gave Himself for us. All that He is, He sacrificed for us. that he might redeem us from
all iniquity, that he might put away our sins and purify unto himself by the
washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost. A
peculiar people. People loved with a peculiar,
distinguishing love from everlasting. The objects of his peculiar choice
and his peculiar delight. The objects of peculiar blessedness
and peculiar provision. Special. Separated from the world. A peculiar people. Zealous of
good works. Now what are those good works?
All these things that have been listed. What are those good works? You ought not go to the picture
show. That's bad. You ought not to
wear shorts. That's bad. If you lived in the
South, I guess things may have changed. I haven't been among
religious folks in so long. You ought not go mix bathing.
Go mix bathing. That doesn't mean get in the
bathtub and take a bath together. That means swim together, men and
women, boys and girls. You don't do that. You don't
do that. And if you live north of the Mason Diction, you don't
use tobacco. It's good works. Did you ever notice how religion
always identifies good works? Always. Always. Never, Rex, you were raised in
this nonsense, never did you hear good works identified as
something positive. It's always negative. Don't do. Don't go. Don't eat. Don't say. Don't be. What are these good
works which God has before ordained we should walk into them if we
are the objects of His grace, the masterpieces of His mercy?
What are these good works? They always have to do with two
things. Just two things. Loving God and
loving one another. That's it. That's it. Just those two things. Oh, well,
I've got that sewed up. Do you now? Do you now? Darwin, if we honor God, let
us love him and love each other. Love each other. Love each other. Find me any other description
of good works in this book, and I'll eat my hat. It just ain't
there. It just ain't there. And then Paul tells us in verse
15, these things speak. Proclaim these things. Exhort. And when folks walk contrary,
rebuke them. I've told you now, adorn the doctrine of God our
Savior. I exhort you to do it for Christ's sake. For Christ's
sake. If you don't, you're going to
lose your reward. No. If you don't, God's going to
get you. No. For Christ's sake. For Christ's
sake. Be you kind one to another. tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God, for Christ's sake, has forgiven
you. For Christ's sake. Exhort. And when you see something contrary,
it doesn't say go out and stick your nose in folks' business
and start trying to rule free people's lives, but rebuke. I've been rebuked by what I've
studied. And God's given me to speak to you. I hope you had
me. Repeat. With all authority, in God's
name, with God's authority, with God's approval, let no man despise
thee. Give none reason to despise you.
and have no regard for those who do. Paul wrote to the Corinthians,
he said, let a man count us as the ministers of Jesus Christ,
stewards of the mysteries of God. And if you've got something
to say about that, he said, with me, it is a very small thing
that I should be judged. I just don't give a flip what you
think about me. I'm not concerned about your opinion. Yea, I judge
not my own self. I'll meet you at the bar of God
another day and we'll find out. We'll find out. May God the Holy Spirit give
