Titus

It only took me 7 minutes to read the entire letter that Paul wrote to this evangelist whom he left on the island of Crete. Paul spent this letter reminding him, and us, of the mission of those early church planters. A good leadership is important, personal holiness is crucial to verifying the message, and many trivial theological arguments are pointless.  In chapter 3 verse 8 Paul encourages Titus to take a stand, not against the attacks of the enemy but on these points of doctrine. There are some things that evangelist need not waste time dealing with repeatedly. We need to practice this same lesson today.
