Titus 1:1-4 

 Rev. Bruce Brown

II.    The Content: The Truth of Godliness  (verses 1b-2)

 III.   The Method: The Proclamation of His Word (verse 3)

“How diligently the cavalry officer keeps his saber clean and sharp; every stain he rubs off with the greatest care.  Remember, as God's minister, you are God’s sword – His instrument – I trust a chosen vessel unto Him to bear His name.  In great measure, according to the purity and perfections of the instrument will be the success.  It is not great talent God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus.  A holy officer is an awful weapon in the hand of God.”  ~ Robert Murray McCheyne
