Titus Organizes the Cretan Churches

Paul writes to Titus, his trusted co-worker stationed on Crete, with a clear mission: get the churches organized and appoint solid leaders. He drops the qualifications list for elders, then warns about the false teachers running wild on the island. No cap, the vibe check for leadership is intense.

Paul tells Titus exactly what a healthy church looks like — from older men and women mentoring the younger generation to living like people who've actually been changed by grace. Then he drops one of the most fire summaries of the gospel ever written.

Paul wraps up his letter to Titus with a reminder that we used to be a whole mess before God showed up. The glow up wasn't earned — it was pure grace. Now live like it, avoid drama, and take care of each other.
