The Things That Are Wanting

Something was missing in the house.

The believers had faith, but the structure that protects faith was not yet complete.

In The Things That Are Wanting, Cedric Mebane explores the deep meaning behind Paul’s words to Titus. Why did Paul leave Titus in Crete? What did it mean to “set in order the things that are wanting”?

Through simple language and powerful insight, this book reveals why God sometimes sends leaders not to start new work but to finish what has already begun.

The book examines leadership, spiritual order, the role of elders, and the balance between wisdom and spiritual insight. It explains why communities of faith must be strong enough to carry wilderness seasons and cultural pressure.

Using historical background from an Aramaic perspective, this book shows how unfinished spiritual houses can become unstable when structure, truth, and character are missing.

This book is for believers who feel that something is missing in the house and want to understand why God cares about order, completion, and stability inside His community.

The Things That Are Wanting is a simple but powerful teaching about why God sends leaders to finish what the church has left unfinished.
