There is so much hope in the first paragraph! God who cannot lie! Which means all His promises will take place. The fulfillment of the holy days, The resurrections of dead, eternal life ! So many wonderful promises. I find if I focus just on that fact alone I have a better day.
Verses 12-13 always make me wonder how bad it was in Crete for Paul to take a shot like that.
Easy to read over the qualifications in v5-9 and say “Well I’m not a minister, so…” but it’s really just a list of how a Christian should be. There aren’t two separate standards in God’s Church—how the leaders should be is how everyone should be. How *I* should be.

Paul sure knew how to start a letter! I love the “before time began” part. God had this all in motion before we were even on the scene. How amazing!
