She explains that if you reject Paul, you also reject Jesus, because Jesus is the sender. Paul wants to hand on the gospel, so as to bring people to faith. Faith has to lead to godliness or it is worthless. Discussion of appointing leaders, and the characters of appointing Christian leaders, especially being devoted to the gospel so as to teach and to lead to godliness. Ramsay speaks on recognising the threats, including refuting those who speak against the truth. She shows where we belong in the spread of the gospel, and challenges the leaders to hold fast to the gospel, and to have the same godly qualities., Cassette label reads: "16/8/02 Lesley Ramsay Trusting the truth that leads to godliness Session 1 Titus 1:1-16 Session 2 Titus 2:1-15 17/8/02 Crossroads Women's conference"
