SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 10-05-02
My
Worship Time Focus: Elder’s
qualifications cont.
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: Titus 1:6
Message of the verse: “6 namely, if any man is above reproach, the
husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or
rebellion.”
“Above reproach” does not mean perfect, for no one is perfect. It does mean that the elder must have a good
reputation in his home, Church, and community.
He must be a one-woman man both inwardly, and outwardly. He must lead his children to the Lord and
they must act and behave like the believers that they are. The children must not be “accused of
dissipation or rebellion.” They must not
be wild or rebellious.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: The loving of my wife must be done both
inwardly and outwardly, meaning I must not think of other women in a way that
would be harmful to my wife or my marriage.
The Word of God was convicting to
my heart today.
My
Steps of Faith Today: I need to trust the Lord to keep my heart and my
mind clean and pure by confessing any sin and protecting it with the spiritual
armor of God.
Memory verse for the week: 2Timothy 4:18
And the Lord will deliver me from
every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever more. Amen!
