—Titus 1:5-9
by: Dorothy Noel.
Good teachers are hard to come by. Paul gave clear instructions to Titus of what to look for in establishing church leadership in Crete. In family, personal life, and doctrinal clarity, these leaders were to be aboveboard and different from the self-centered, rebellious men (v.10-12). These traits are not developed overnight, but are evidenced in day-to-day living over time. As we seek to develop leaders in our churches, how can we guide young people toward developing these traits?
