Titus was a traveling companion of Paul. He had gone to the Island of Crete, which was the early churches first missionary outreach. while in Crete, Paul writes to Titus to "Set things in order".

In other words, "let's make sure Jesus church is well organized, functions properly under the leading of the Holy Spirit and that everything is done decently and orderly.

The Bible says that Jesus is the Creator of all things, and as such, He is a very detailed and orderly God..
He wants for His church to be well organized and to be available to bless the lives of human beings who come in contact with it.

In this important study, Paul will instruct Titus on the subjects of: The qualifications and duties of Elders, The ministry of the Pastor, and instruction in Godly living.

The Book of Titus also covers the important subject of "Sound Doctine" and the fact that truth is always very narrow and defined.  The Bible describes the fact that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven and that truth, is very narrow in the eyes of most of the world.

One other interesting and exciting doctrine that Titus covers is that of the "Glorious Appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ."  There is a detailed topical study included, that explains the specifics of the doctrine of the "Rapture of the Church" and answers those skeptics who claim in is not taught in the Bible.

We call these mini studies in the New Testament "Pastoral Epistles", because of their great value to anyone who seeks to be a good overseer of Jesus Church.
