The Perverting Power of Trivialities
Titus 1:14
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.


Trivialities, and mere human conceptions, exert a perverting power —

(1)  by distracting attention from the essentials of religion;

(2)  by dissipating the strength of the mind;

(3)  by attributing to the human an authority belonging only to the Divine.Truth, in its essence, always of more importance than the form in which it is clothed. The "spirit" is greater than the "letter."

(F. Wagstaff.)
