Titus: A Manual for Restrained Living and Endless Liberty - Part 1: Chosen for a Purpose In Paul's letter to Titus, the one quality commanded as characteristic of every believer is self-control.  If it was true for the challenging culture of Crete back then, it's no less true for the world we live in today, a world that in many places seems set on throwing off all kinds of restraints. Here, by the Spirit of God, Paul singles out the vital need for restrained living in an unrestrained society. God wants all of us to be serious about spiritual things. In a culture back then that was unruly and rebellious, the Lord was looking for those who could restrain their appetites, their minds, their bodies, their words and their habits. In this short series, Brian shares Paul's model that gives us a primer for Christian living in any age.
