Titus

     Titus one of Paul's young ministers and missionary assisted. Titus a gentile went with Paul, God called by God, help deliver letters and like timothy given the responsibility of training leaders to be established in the local Church of Crete and Dalmatia. Titus went to Corinth with the letters Paul wrote to this Church. He also traveled and served in Ephesus too alongside Barnabas and Paul. The Jews wanted Titus to be circumcised Paul refused to let him go through this. The letter written was during 66-67 A.D. Titus was given a description of the type leaders to be put in place of the local church. Titus had and Timothy both has similar letters and are gentiles preparing lay leaders in the Church. Titus, Paul writes in the beginning of the first chapter that he is like a son to him in the faith. It is pretty cool to think that Paul would give a recommendation to the body about Titus. This shows the faith and heart and worth of Titus to Paul. As a young man of God Titus must have proved himself strong in the faith bearing a name like this, as a son in the faith. The task of serving with Paul was big. Paul demanded a lot when working and proclaiming the message of Jesus. Paul did not want weak faith people working with him. In the book of Acts, John Mark gets kicked off the first missionary trip. Paul played no games. Later though Paul wants John Mark back and writes he is of great use to him and his ministry. Paul took Titus on his third mission to Crete and kept him in for use. Titus had an experience with God that kept him through the course of ministry. God used Titus and took his experience with Christ and kept passionately pursuing him.
