Becoming Familiar

It is a good idea to become familiar with a text of the Bible at a high level before beginning a close study of it.  The goal of this familiarization is to get a "forest" level understanding prior to examining each grove of trees or even each individual tree.  The most basic way of getting this sort of understanding is to read the section of the Bible over and over again. 

As we are beginning a study of the book of Titus, I would encourage you to read over the whole book, which is only three chapters long, each day leading up to the first meeting this coming Friday morning Sept. 12, 2008.  Doing so will give you an overview understanding of the book and will help down the road when we look at the text a little closer to aid in preventing taking the apostle Paul's writing out of context.
