Sound Doctrine Results in Good Deeds

I am participating in another Precept study.  This time it is a short, three week study over the book of Titus.  I am actually surprised that it is only a three week study.  There seems to be so much to learn in such a short book.  It seems to me that too many elders (pastors, overseers) in the modern church have not read the book of Titus (or the book of Ephesians for that matter).  It is clear that Paul is saying that sound doctrine results in good deeds.  You cannot teach those in the church how to engage in good deeds (meaning the deeds that God laid out beforehand and saved us to -- Ephesians chapter 2) without teaching sound doctrine.  For those of us that are more doctrinally minded, Paul has a word of warning as well.  You cannot have sound doctrine unless it is backed up by good deeds.  You have to have orthodoxy and orthopraxy.  You cannot have one without the other.  It is interesting to see that Paul told Titus to teach sound doctrine so that the people would live right.  He didn't tell Titus to give the people "how to" messages on how to live, but to show the people by example and set up leaders who would show the people by example.  Maybe that is our problem in the church today.  We teach people "how to" but we do not teach sound doctrine or have leaders that are examples of sound faith and good deeds.  I am looking forward to continuing to study the book of Titus (even if it means that I will be convicted of my lack of good deeds).
