“And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:”
King James Version (KJV)

"Sometimes, when God removes one comfort from us, he raises up another for us, where we looked not for it." Many times I have disregarded/rejected comforts Jesus provides in times of need because is not what I want or expect. How foolish can a follower be not to recognized that GOD/JESUS/HOLY SPIRIT is in control of all!!! even what I percievied to be bad. He clearly states in verse 11 that even the power to be crucified lay not in Pilates hands but in HIS!!! May we receive discerment to identified ALL HIS BLESSINGS AND COMFORTS THRU HIS GRACE!

Lyn,
There are 5 verses you are listing. Is there a particular verse you are needing help with? Or, what specifically would be your question? This section in Titus Chapter 1, Verses 5-16 is giving us instruction on leadership. If you have a specific question on that section, I would be happy to try and help you. But to go over each verse would take more than one post. I would also be willing to do that for you if you wish?
Setting Things in Order's comment on 2021-03-30 13:48:49:
Paul left Titus in Crete to lay a foundation for a Christian church planting there. He instructs him in choices of what kind of men to assist him.
Set IN ORDER according to the known Will of God, by Jesus Christ.
I haven't looked up the history of this moment, but you can. Put the BOOK OF TITUS in Google, then type: history after it. Look through the first 5 responses.
There's another story where a king is told, set thine house in order; you're going to die. He repents and lives longer.
So you can put that phrase into this websites: SEARCH BOX. Set in order. All scriptures with that phrase will be fetched by the search engine. It helps us study deeper, God who is a God of order.
Satan is a "god" of CHAOS. Whatever he finds that is in order, he tears at it until it's in sin and disarray. That is his FRUIT. He has many! Get to know all of them. That's how we know he's trying to set our homes, work, friendships, etc, in Chaos. Time to pray and get Church members to pray with us, if need be.
Let's be sensitive to order vs chaos. It's a pattern for success or, chaos. Titus learned that traveling with Paul: as did the Disciples that traveled with Jesus.
Job had a great life until Chaos showed up on the scene. Job had to resist blaming God for it. He learned the blessing of trusting God, despite the mess around him and "friends" that ACCUSED him of some secret sin.
Accuser, is another name of Satan. We all need to pay attention to the signs of his presence. Stay in the Bible and even READ IT OUT LOUD. He doesn't want to hear it. Praise, and sing Jesus Loves Me if that's all you can think of, in the "battle."
When Jesus was facing a battle, He got away from the crowd and Prayed. Always. That's our Example.
Hope this helped you. Mishael

"the mother of us all" is and always will be without bondage and likewise her children. It's eternal and it begins in the hearts and lives of men made free from sin by a finished faith in Jesus Christ. He is our rest from our own works and our redeemer and friend and heavenly home.

Galatians Chapter Four has a lot of wonder in regard to freedom in Christ Jesus.
Verses 21-31
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
But, he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two convenants, the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath a husband.
Now we, brethern, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
So then, brethern, we are not children of the bondwoman, but children of the free.

This Msg has been slightly edited for clarity, and moved to the correct thread.
God sent forward his message in vessels of clay,
The message is revealed by the Spirit of God, ( The Holyspirit )
The clay vessels is the messengers
The message is Jesus Christ, John 1:1.
The Holyspirit reveals his message,
We don't depend on the vessel, we hear the Great Shepherd.
John 10:26-27 (KJV) But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Now listen to the Lord speaking to the Pharisees:
John 8:43. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Do you hear his voice? If so what about Revelation 1:8?

REVELATION 1:1. THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST,
Revelation-
Greek:
Transliteration: apokalupsis
Pronunciation: ap-ok-al'-oop-sis
Definition: From G601; DISCLOSURE: - appearing coming lighten manifestation be revealed revelation.
KJV Usage: revelation(12x), be revealed(2x), to lighten(withG1519)(1x), manifestation(1x), coming(1x), appearing(1x).
Occurs: 18.
Here we have the DISCLOSURE/ UNVEILED/ CONCLUSION/ AND THE CLIMAX of our Lord from the volume of the scripture!!
The LORD sums it up himself.
Revelation 1:8 (KJV) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, ""the Almighty.""
The Almighty-
Greek:
Transliteration: pantokratr
Pronunciation: pan-tok-rat'-ore
Definition: From G3956 and G2904; the all ruling that is God (as absolute and universal sovereign): - Almighty Omnipotent.
KJV Usage: Almighty(9x), omnipotent(1x).
Occurs: 10.
This is the Lord's climatic declaration of who he is!!
"His Commentary" "His claim "
This is the conclusion of what the scripture has already revealed by those who has eyes to see to those who has ears to hear.
Do you believe HIM?
Carleton's comment on 2021-03-28 22:40:15:
Yes, John Chapter 14:26 with some surrounding read the Bible verses.
14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's that sent me.
14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your jeart ne troubled, neither let it be afraid.
14:28 Ye have heard now how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said , I go unto the Father for my Father is greater than I.
14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

John ch 14 v 26
Jesus said the Father would send the Holy Spirit to the disciples after He Jesus was departed .
Also Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit at his baptism by the father .
A few points to consider.
God is in full control over all !
Amen
Carleton's comment on 2021-03-28 16:09:03:
I believe very similar like this:
"We believe that there is but one God, who is a Spirit, and the Creator of all things, the Father of all, over and through or in all, in us all; who is to ne worshiped in spirit and truth; to whom alone we look, as the Giver of life, raiment and food, as well as health and sickness, prosperity and adversity; Him we love as the author of all good, and fear Him as the discerner of our hearts.
We believe, that Jesus Christ is the Son and image of the Father, in whom dwells all the fullness of the Godhead; by whom we know as the Father; who is our Mediator and Advocate; and there is no other name under heaven given unto men, whereby we may be saved. In His name alone we worship the Father, and pour out no prayers before God, save those contained in the Holy Scriptures, or which fully agree with the sense of the same.
We believe, that we have a Comforter, the Holy Ghost, who proceeds from the Father and the Son; by whose inspirations we pray, and through whose effectual operation we are regenerated. This Holy Ghost operates in us all good works, and by Him we are led into all truth."
