Gospel-Driven Godliness and Church Leadership, Part 4
To aid Titus and the Cretan churches in appointing qualified elders so that the churches are properly ordered, Paul, in vv. 6-9, sets forth three areas where an elder must be “above reproach.” The three areas where a prospective elder must be free of a damaging accusation are his family life, personal life and doctrinal life. The first area a prospective elder must be above reproach is in his family life. He must be the husband of one wife and have faithful children. Second, an elder must not only be able to manage his own marriage and family well (1:6) but he must also be able to manage himself well. Therefore, in vv. 7-8, Paul lists five sinful vices and six godly virtues, which define what it means for an elder to be “above reproach” in his personal life. These eleven qualities, which are evidence of God's transforming grace, are essential to fitness for oversight of God's household.

Good Judgment
This is a journey through 1 Corinthians chapters 5 and 6. It considers especially the responsibility of church leaders, and all members, to judge wisely in pastoral matters. Christ said "do not judge" (Matthew 7:7) yet his meaning was that we should not claim for ourselves a function of judgment that does not belong to us. God will judge sinners - our responsibility is to love them until they see Christ.
Wait Until Your Father Gets Home
Regardless of our situations and experiences with our earthly fathers, our Heavenly Father perfect and loving. But, like our earthly fathers, our Heavenly Father will discipline us. And in Habakkuk, we see the difference between discipline and wrath.
Wandering
We all go through time in our lives when we are wandering in the desert. We are there for one or two reasons. 1) God is preparing us for what is to come. It is a teaching moment. 2) We have sinned and God disciplining us and is asking that we would die to self.
