Titus is encouraged by Paul to help put the church in order on the island of Crete, calling him and them to live lives steadied by a commitment to goodness.

Similar to the world we live in, the world, our flesh, and the devil do all they can to tear us down and apart. Paul steps in with this letter to instruct them and us on how to bring order into our lives. Let's get to it!
