Blameless

Since an overseer is entrusted with God's work, he must blameless-- not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkeness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.   
                        Titus 1.7



   Those of us who pretend to be of God and desire to serve God, need to be blameless before God's eyes, and of course, of those around us. This verse gives us perfect examples of how we need to be blameless:

not overbearing, not quick-tempered:

           In other words, we need to be blameless when it comes to our attitude or character. When people look at your attitude, do they see Jesus?

not given to drunkeness, not violent,

           These are examples of things we do; the choices we make. Have your actions been blameless or have you give reasons for your family members to talk?

not pursuing dishonest gain

           Finally, we need to be blameless with our intentions. Sometimes we do things for others, but, we do these things for the wrong reasons. Sometimes do things expecting something in return or, we do things to please others.


If you examine your character, actions and intentions, have you been blameless?
