Titus, book of

A letter from the apostle Paul to his friend Titus. Titus was a Christian leader on the island of Crete, where the church had many problems. Paul reminded Titus that pastors and leaders in a church must be holy people. They must be able to live happily with their own families if they are going to work well with the larger church family. They must be honest in all they do and not be lazy.
