“He must live a devout and disciplined life.” Titus1:8
“Such people claim they know God, but they deny Him by the way they live.” Titus 1:16
In Titus Chapter 1 Paul is writing to Titus concerning the conditions for being an Elder in the church. An Elder of the church is one who is responsible for administering spiritual matters and leading by godly example. I believe that in today’s world it is vitally important that we all act as though we are an Elder of God’s church. In reality we are! We are responsible for administering spiritual matters and we are responsible to lead by godly example. You and I are to develop into strong and vital examples of Christ in today’s world. We are to grow each day in our faith and begin to lead by spiritual example. As we become more disciplined in our relationship with Jesus, we are able connect others with the power of the gospel. We can help them to align their hearts with God and protect themselves from the self-interests of the world.
Learning and understanding God’s ways help us to strengthen our faith. When we become disciplined in his ways our actions begin to reflect how he wants us to live our lives. There are those in this world who say they know Christ but the actions they take, the way they talk and the way they are disciplined to live their lives show they actually deny Jesus. We are to meditate in his word, pray daily and live lives disciplined in the Lord. When we do we become good stewards of his word! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
