An unusual tangent

I had intended to complete Titus 2 (focusing on verses 11-15) in today's lesson. I decided that it would be important to take a small tangent from the text to make sure that the class knows what my theological perspective is. Specifically relating to verse 11 and soteriology (the doctrine of salvation) I wanted to make sure that the class knew that I affirm the doctrines of grace - commonly called Calvinism. This "quick tangent" very rapidly took the entire class period. So, we didn't get through any of the text, but what we did was important to frame future discussions on salvation as well as to encourage dialogue and growth.
