Paul left Titus on Crete to “straighten out what was left unfinished” by ‘appointing elders in every town’ (1v5). Paul did not leave Titus in Crete to seek out people with next-level administration skills, slick church promotion ideas, or an attractive, vibrant personality. Paul left him there to appoint elders who were “blameless” (1v6). Text: Titus 1v5-9.
