Blameless

Titus 1:6-9 (New King James Version)6 "if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination. 7 For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, 8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled, 9 holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict."
The qualities of this passage is in reference to an elder in the church, but they are still applicable to all Christians. God has been showing me that our actions and lifestyles are a greater witness many times than the words we speak. Many unbelievers watch us to find out our wrongdoings so that they can discredit our claims of Christianity, but if we are committed to being "blameless", we can prove that our walk with the Lord is real, and He is working in us.
--Matt Storer
