Why is it that we Christians often behave

worse than those who do not believe?

Why is it that we Christians, instead of fulfilling our role as light and salt in the world,

often behave worse than those who do not believe?

When considering the reasons for this,

I believe one of the causes is precisely as mentioned in Titus 2:1 –

that we Christians fail to learn sound doctrine effectively.

As a result, we are unable to speak sound words (v. 8)

and furthermore, we fail to live a sound life (v. 8).
