I was reading in Titus, a book I have never read through before and 2 verses really stuck out to me. Titus 1:7-8 7 “For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God, not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate.”
Even though it says that this is what a bishop should be, I think of it as a list for everyone. Why shouldn’t we all try and be as good as a bishop or some other member of the church leadership? If we are following this list then we are on our way to being a great Christian and a great disciple of Christ, and blessings will follow. We will be worth the blessings that we receive from out Heavenly Father.
