Titus 3 - in series on Godly leadership G.S.Munro. In our series on godly leadership, we have been looking at the instructions the apostle Paul gave to his friend and fellow worker Titus. In applying these texts, we have seen that leadership means more than just the full time pastors, more than just parish councillors and other elected officials. Older men and women, for example, have a responsibility to teach the younger generation how to be godly, by living godly lives themselves.
Parents have a responsibility to children.
And of course, as well as being leaders, we are also led by others, so what God says through Paul in this book is relevant to us as followers too. We are to submit to the authority of those over us in the Lord, whether our pastors, home group leaders, parents, or mentors. And we are to pray for godly qualities in our leaders. Leaders of every sort, whether an apostle like Paul, a church planter like Titus, a pastor such as Paul Bayliss or myself, a home group leader, member of parish council, youth group leader, mother, father, or just a more mature Christian, have a responsibility in the Lord for those under their care. Our leadership is not to be like the world's leadership, not lording it over others.
