Titus 1:5 Doing God's work

Hello everyone! Wow! A fast morning. Started early, still catching up. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

Titus 1:5 "I left you on the island of Crete so you could complete our work there and appoint elders in each town as I instructed you."

Paul left Titus at Crete, a small island in the Mediterranean Sea which had a large population of Jews. The work that needed completion refers to establishing correct teaching and appointing elders in every town. Paul appointed elders in the churches he left and since he could not be at each one he needed strong spiritual leadership.

The men chosen were to lead the churches by teaching sound doctrine, helping believers mature spiritually, and equipping them to live for Jesus Christ despite opposition.

Where are you? Are you taking steps to be a stong leader or are you just one of the flock, following and not questioning? God wants strong leaders, whether in the pulpit, in the pews, or working behind the scenes...God wants you working for the kingdom. Could you be an elder?

In Christ's Love and Grace
