Sometimes your reputation speaks louder than your introduction.

📚 Historical Context

In the first century, the Apostle Paul wrote his second letter to the Corinthian church amid challenges of generosity and unity, as he organized a collection of funds to support the struggling believers in Jerusalem. He mentions sending Titus along with another trusted brother, likely a prominent figure like Luke, who was widely praised for his effective work in spreading the gospel across various early churches. This highlights the early church's emphasis on reliable messengers to maintain integrity in financial and missionary efforts.
