and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:”

Conclusion:
Titus 1:16 tells us
“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Oh, that this would never be said of you or me as the spiritual leaders in our homes, our neighborhoods, our Sunday School Class, or any other area in which we minister for the Lord God who has saved us!
Ask yourself this question, dear Conqueror’s Class member and child of God,
“Am I Being The Leader God Desires For Me To Be Today?” May you and I choose today to stand up unashamedly for what we know is right as found within the pages of this old Book we call The Holy Word of God!
