‘My definition of godliness is devotion to God actively expressed in a good life empowered by the gospel.’ Kenneth Brownell unpacks this definition as he reflects on the letter to Titus.
This book is the fruit of a final series of sermons on the letter delivered when the author was about to retire from a long and fruitful ministry at East London Tabernacle. The author reads Scripture carefully, has a keen theological eye, a well-tuned historical perspective, and a nuanced cultural awareness. These are all in evidence here as the short letter to Titus is faithfully and practically mined to help readers see where godliness comes from and what it looks like in practice.
Pastors and preachers will benefit from reflecting on the core aspects of their role of preaching the gospel to themselves, keeping the gospel before the eyes of their congregations to lead people to Christ and nurture them in His grace. Congregations will benefit from this book, like the Christians in Crete, by being able to eavesdrop on the instruction given to Titus.
