LeRoy Eims on the importance of Scripture memory: "I think two of the master strokes of the devil have been to convince people he doesn't exist, and that Scripture memory is only for children. He remembers the humility of defeat when Jesus Christ, who was tempted in all points like as we are, met him with the Word of God." (What Every Christian Should Know About Growing; p. 26-27)

Titus 1:12

Titus 1:12
Even one of their own prophets has said, "Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons."

Review verses 1-11 and then learn this new verse.

My Life Application Bible has this to say about today`s verse....

Paul was quoting a line from a poem by Epimenides, a poet and philosopher who had live in Crete 600 years earlier. Some Cretans had a bad reputation and were known for lying. Paul used this familiar phrase to make the point that Titus`s ministry and leadership were very much needed.

Here this quote is directed at the false teachers.
