This short letter shows that developing a good church has always been a challenge -- even in New Testament days.
Paul told Titus, a young leader of an argumentative church, to refute false teachers, calm church disunity and find quality leaders.
Even with God's Spirit at work, church life requires sweat and tears.
This letter puts church difficulties into perspective: those who persevere, as Titus did, will discover the power and satisfaction that God gives.
