Faithful Word, Healthy Teaching

Holding to the faithful word, which is according to the teaching of the apostles, that he may be able both to exhort by the healthy teaching and to convict those who oppose.  Titus 1:9 

For the promotion of the Holy Bible, Recovery Version, I designed a pamphlet and sent it to the brothers for their comments, suggestions, and approval. A brother wrote back to me to remove the banner that we have been using for a decade, "High Quality Christian Literature." He felt that it was too boastful to say that we have the "high quality" Christian literature. I took that comment as from the Lord and considered to strike it off.

As I considered a substitute for this banner, the Lord lead me to a verse in Titus 1:9 where Paul charged Titus, his young coworker, to "hold to the faithful word"  which is according to the apostles' teaching, which is the content of the New Testament economy. In that way, he exhorted him to stand by the healthy teaching and convict those who oppose. In fact, this verse perfectly describes the literature service I have been apportioned to serve. I felt it was the Lord's leading that He gave such a feeling to a brother to consider the change. And this change turned out to be for the best! Praise the Lord! 

The Faithful Word: The ministry of the word that we are engaged in is indeed the faithful word. Many truths that have been neglected by many Christian preachers and teachers are being propagated with much vigor. The teaching concerning the divine trinity in His essence and economy, the person of Christ with His divinity and humanity, the church in her universal and local aspect, the Christian life in living out Christ, and the practices of the church life in a locality with the practice of the God-ordained way, the Holy Spirit, the Gospel, the New Jeerusalem, etc. 

The Healthy Teaching: The ministry of the word is also the healthy teaching that makes a believer grow in life, nourishes and cherishes him, and equips him with the word on the positive side. And also prepares him to stand against the degradation, false teachings, and opposition from those of the untrained mind. 

Nor to give heed to myths and unending genealogies, which produce questionings rather than God's economy, which is in faith. 1 Timothy 1:4

Hold a pattern of the healthy words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 1:13

Therefore, I redesigned the new banner for the literature service in India as "Faithful Word, Healthy Teaching | The MINISTRY of the Word for All."
