Titus is a “go-to guy” in the sense that like William Gorgas who was instrumental in the building of the Panama Canal, he can be counted on to get the job done. He perseveres.

Track record is the best, the most reliable indication of how a person will perform in a new assignment. Why is Titus a good partner? He has the right background and the right entrepreneurial gifts to do the job down there in Crete.

A Great Partner

“The Real McCoy” is authenticity. Are you becoming an authentic Christian leader…a man who sees practical life change in his work in the world? Paul has to make sure that the ministry in Crete is authentic. “The Real McCoy.” He doesn’t have much time. He is going to leave Titus on Crete and he has […] The post The Real McCoy appeared first on Leadership Ministries.

The Real McCoy

Paul and Titus’ relationship is characterized by a deep respect for each other, with little sense of a power relationship. Do you know how to relate that way? God’s people are in the world. They are not in heaven yet. AND our world often consists of relationships that are dominated by power and rivalry. Unlike […] The post No Competition appeared first on Leadership Ministries.

As you begin to age, and hopefully free up some time margin, how might the Lord take advantage of your experience with life, with living? In this lesson, Paul tells Titus to appoint elders. The original Koine Greek uses the word presbyteros which is translated in the English as “elders.” It means “older men.” Older […] The post Getting Older appeared first on Leadership Ministries.

Is your work in this world transformational…transformed lives, transformed marriages, transformed businesses? Transformational Leadership is self-authorizing, unconventional, transformational and incomprehensible.

Is your focus on the work of the Lord as it is on the business, the organization of the work of the Lord? In this message, we start to look at the qualifications for an “elder.” The word in the original is “Episcopas.” Chris White parses the word and cautions men everywhere to make the […] The post Oversight appeared first on Leadership Ministries.

What is your “brand” in your community? What are you doing to build and protect the brand of Jesus Christ? According to one expert in the field, it takes years to build equity and loyalty in brands. Years. But only a few missteps to destroy them. Now, what are we doing in Christian leadership to […] The post Branding appeared first on Leadership Ministries.

Are you holding firmly to the truth as REVEALED to us by God the Holy Spirit in His Scriptures? Paul encourages Titus to hold firmly to the truth in Titus 1:9. The Christian leader must have resolved that the message we have received through the Apostles is true. We can trust it, and now it […] The post Teaching appeared first on Leadership Ministries.

Are you insuring that you have margin in your life so that you are useful for Kingdom work or have you like most people, spread yourself too thin? In order for the Christian Leader to be able to refute people who oppose the gospel, the trustworthy message, he must make sure that he has margin […] The post Handling Competition appeared first on Leadership Ministries.

Is your work in this world characterized by courage and determination, or are you playing it safe without a longer term view? Paul urges Titus to come on strong with the Cretans. They live in a corrupted culture of deceit, laziness, and gluttony. They are coarse, rough people and will respond to a courageous and […] The post Courage and Determination appeared first on Leadership Ministries.

Are you sound? Are you growing? Are you making the Word of God, the people of God, and our Savior attractive? We move to Chapter 2 of Titus where Paul changes gears from defending against bad teaching to where he says to Titus, “but now for you Titus…” He will now throughout Chapter 2 address […] The post Sound Growth appeared first on Leadership Ministries.

Women ought to do everything they can to be full partners with their husbands. When men are at their best, the women in their lives are at their best.

Titus […] The post Full Partners appeared first on Leadership Ministries.

Does your life match your words? Paul addresses young men directly in Titus 2:6-8.
