Titus leads the way.


Living in Ohio during an election cycle is an adventure. I've noticed the rhetoric and sales pitches becoming more and more frenzied, and we're still only in the primary cycle.

I'm looking at both political parties, and I don't see much in the way of real leadership to that which should make up the minds of the electorate.

In reading Titus, perhaps we should see which candidate adheres more to what we should be looking for. Namely, the following:

2
older men should be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, love, and endurance.
3
Similarly, older women should be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to drink, teaching what is good,
6
Urge the younger men, similarly, to control themselves,
7
showing yourself as a model of good deeds in every respect, with integrity in your teaching, dignity,
8
and sound speech that cannot be criticized, so that the opponent will be put to shame without anything bad to say about us.
All is far in politics they say, but as a voter I'd like to see us vote more according to the teachings of Titus and Christianity and less to the malign thoughts of Howard Dean or Rush Limbaugh.
