Taking Care of Things

Titus 1:10-13
"For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain. One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons." This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith"

The elders are supposed to talk to these people so that they change. The two kinds of people mentioned are deceivers- those who purpose to trick others, and idle talkers- those who say dumb or silly and unthoughtful things. Looking to build up their own egos, they use others for dishonest gain. These kind of people need to be rebuked by the leaders in the church so that their behavior is stopped.
