Paul offers Titus very clear instructions for appointed appropriate pastors/elders by giving specific qualifications that dictate those with the right capacity for leadership in the church. Anyone who is fit for this leadership role must have a family that exemplifies the traits of believers, he must also be blameless in his character and must be committed to the faithful word of God, capable of both explaining it to believers and defending it from opponents. This leadership role is vital for the church and must be very carefully filled.
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.
