Do you have a Godly resume?

Lady of Light

When I read the book of Titus today, I was reminded of what the requirements for elders, bishops and godly women are.

When Paul left Titus in Crete, he wanted him to build and appoint leadership for the churches he built there. The men were to be husbands of one wife, sober, temperate, abounding in love, charity and every good work, with a godly wife and obedient children. No where did it speak about education, skills, job history or the things we think of when we apply for a job. Rich or poor, educated or uneducated.

It is HOW THEY LIVED THEIR LIFE that really counted.

The women were to be sober, temperate, modest, encouraging the younger women to love their husbands and children and to abound in every good work. Nothing about education, family background, skills, who you know etc. LIVE AN OBEDIENT LIFE and you will be considered worthy to lead in the church or to be the wife of one who leads. So, ladies, we can't stick together and complain about our husbands or children and side with each other! We have to encourage each other to love our husbands and children. Also, we can't slander anyone OR listen to slander.

As in Phillipians Chapter 4 we must think on: "Whatsoever is good, pure, lovely, of good report...." So the encounters we have with others are important as to their content.

I received a reply from a reader on "Faith Comes By Hearing" that if you want a free audio bible which is easy to listen to go to www.FaithComesByHearing.com. By listening or reading, you will end up doing more sharing.

So when choosing leaders or becoming a leader or a good follower, consider the characteristics in Titus and you can't go wrong because these are the things that God places a value on.

God Bless You,
