Church leaders are important because of whom they represent and because of what they are called to do by the Holy Spirit. As Titus is commissioned to establish elders in every town on the island of Crete, he is to keep in mind that God has a high standard for those who would serve in this capacity. Their character and conduct are important as they labor for the sake of the faith of God’s elect. Why is this the case and does it have any application for you?
