"To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; bu even their mind and conscience are defiled. The profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work." Titus 1:15-16
The people whom Paul is referring to here are false teachers. But I could not help but suddenly see several similarities between the false teachers of the future, and Christians today who claim to be Christians, but act otherwise. You say you're christian, but with the very tongue you use to praise God, you hurl curses at man (James 3:9). You know it's wrong, and you're doing something to change it, that's good. Then you throw the argument that you're not a false teacher, because you're not teaching anyone, well are you a good christian then? If a boy from ACSI, flaunts his wealth down along orchard road, everyone will think ACSI boys are rich, and arrogant, but is that true? Don't you think the other school boys will want to excommunicate him because of the bad name he brought to the school? How have you been reflecting Christ?
You profess to know God (I hope you do), but your acts deny Him. Do you think no one knows that you're a christian? I won't tell you what are the acts you commit, because you have to first acknowledge that it doesn't edify God. For if you do not come to that realisation, no amount of Bible verses will convict you.
There is a famous saying that goes, "Know God, Know Peace, No God, No Peace". Do you feel at peace in your life? Do you know God?
