Paul to Titus: On Christians in the Public Square
In his letter to Titus, Paul offers forty-six crisp verses on theology, social ethics, and personal morality. The letter is a stunning tour-de-force on how Christians are to impact their pagan world. It includes thoughts, I think, that are worth lingering over in a political season.

- Paul would encourage us to consider what policies and what candidates will make us less a nation of religious liars
- Paul would encourage us to consider what policies and what candidates will diminish social viciousness and encourage social justice.
- Paul would encourage us to consider what polices and candidates will discourage us from being a citizenry of “lazy gluttons.”
