Good Morning!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Titus 1:5-9 ~ Characteristics of an "elder" - a person who watches over God's people. As you lead your family, live out these godly standards.
Let's make a list:
1. Blameless
2. Husband of one wife
3. A family with believing, obedient children
4. Not overbearing
5. Not quick-tempered
6. Not a heavy drinker
7. Not violent
8. Not pursuing dishonest gain
9. Hospitable
10. Love what is good
11. Self-controlled
12. Upright
13. Holy
14. Disciplined
15. Hold firmly to the Message (God's Word)
16. Encourager with sound doctrine (the Word of God)
Quite an impressive list found in these five verses. We can all benefit from striving to lead with these characteristics. They are part of living the Christian life - of being a true follower of Christ - of being a CHRISTIAN!
Study them and live these godly standards!
Have a great day!
