Titus - Doctrine shapes Action

As Paul writes to encourage the pastor Titus serving the churches in Crete, Paul instructs him to set things in order and to appoint pastors in every town and congregation. Titus, as Timothy did in Ephesus, serves as a stabilizing influence and leader in the church on the island of Crete. Paul exhorts Titus to promote doctrine that leads to godly living. The behavior of believers must flow from what they claim to believe. Our daily living must match all we claim to believe about God.
