Ever since the serpent spoke his first words to Eve in the Garden, "Did God really say?" we have been wrestling with believing God cannot lie. This was a persistent problem on the island of Crete where Paul's son in the faith, Titus, finds himself. Titus is there to set things back into order, to remind the Cretans of the transformation that comes from salvation. This truth leads us to affirm that because God cannot lie, we can trust God's truth for transformation.
