God's people are called to be different. Yet, rather than embracing our transformation, we assimilate into the culture around us, allowing it to dictate how we live. This was the exact issue facing the church in Crete. Paul writes to his son in the faith, Titus, about how to set God's household back into order and in alignment with the salvation won for them in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Today, rather than allowing ourselves to be more influenced by the culture than the word of God, the church must remember that Jesus has saved us to be a transformed community, faithfully living out her purpose.
