Bible Reading of Titus 1 For Me This Morning Made Me Think About Succession Paul wrote this letter to Titus because Titus was a trusted believer that Paul positioned in Crete.  The Cretans were known for being lazy liars back then, and Paul saw the need to have a trusted leader there to make sure that faithful doctrine was taught.  Paul charged Titus to select elders for each town that were trustworthy in the faith. In Titus 1, Paul emphasized the trustworthiness of God.  God doesn't lie.  He IS Truth, so it is impossible for God to lie. I thought about who would succeed President Trump if this Impeachment fiasco were successful for the perpetraitors.  VP Mike Pence, then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Could the lust for power be driving the House Rule changes that enable this Impeachment fiasco?   Is it really a coup?   Why else would Pelosi & Democrats change these rules? For US?  For themselves? Just how is President Trump a "threat to our national security"?  In my opinion, there's never been a President work so hard & effectively for the national security of the citizens of the United States (US).  Contrast what he has done for US compared to what HRC & NP have done to US. I agree with Paul that good leaders place their TRUSTWORTHY successors in leadership roles where needed. And on a side note, have noticed there's quite a bit of corruption in California.
