For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol; she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it.https://www.loyola.edu/academics/emerging-media/blog/2017/3-ways-that-social-media-knows-you-better-than-your-friends-and-family-do3 Ways That Social Media Knows You Better Than Your Friends and Family DoNow, in the advancing world of big data, media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other big companies have the ability to collect information about you. This data is collected through your device, google searches, and things you like and post, that can help to determine “hidden attributes about you that you didn't even know you were sharing information about” according to Jennifer Golbeck TED talk entitled Your Social Media “Likes” Expose More Than You Think.Knows Your FriendsSocial media applications such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have the ability to keep up with your friendships. As scary as it sounds, by monitoring your statuses, relationships and activities updates, media applications can predict who your close friends are.Knows Your InterestHow often have you logged into Facebook or opened your web browser and seen ads for your favorite band or the power tools that you need to finish your house renovations? Pretty often right. But why?Media platforms have this really weird ability to track user's behavior and browsing history. By tracking users Facebook, Instagram and Twitter likes, as well as google searches, media platforms and networks are able to generate a general idea of what your interest are.Knows Your Latest Moves – Where You're TravelingBy using the location services provided by your device, media platforms can know where you are at all times. By using your devices location data, different media platforms can market cafes, stores and even friends that are in your area.https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2020/05/08/dating-and-relationships-in-the-digital-age/Dating and Relationships in the Digital Age-From distractions to jealousy, how Americans navigate cellphones and social media in their romantic relationshipsFor instance, among partnered adults in the U.S. – that is, those who are married, cohabiting or in a committed relationship, roughly half (51%) say their partner is often or sometimes distracted by their cellphone while they are trying to have a conversation with them, and four-in-ten say they are at least sometimes bothered by the amount of time their partner spends on their mobile device.https://www.fatherly.com/life/digital-infidelity-ruin-marriageSocial Media Infidelity Is A Very Modern Problem-Infidelity — both physical and emotional — is easier thanks to social media. Apps make it easier to escape into the lives, and arms, of othershttps://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/the-6-most-common-places-where-affairs-startThe 6 most common places where affairs start1. In the officeThe workplace is traditionally the place where people have the most affairs, Macleod said. When we go to work in the morning, our makeup and hair is fresh, and we're typically on our best behavior, she explained.2. At the gymWhen you're at the gym, you're already displaying your body: “There's a whole element of physical attraction, availability and accessibility,” Greer explained.3. On social mediaPeople tend to reconnect with old flames via social media, Macleod said, noting that it's easy for them to reminisce about the “good old days,” when they were younger and not bogged down by so many responsibilities. They may start to fantasize with one another what their lives could be like if they had stayed together, which can quickly snowball into a deeper intimacy, she said.4. Through a social circleProximity is key: People often find affair partners through existing social circles, such as a couple they are friends with. That's because they are already close and familiar with those people, Macleod explained.5. At a volunteering gigPeople may bond over a common cause while volunteering, Macleod said. Greer agreed, noting that anytime you're working toward a common cause or objective, you may start to feel a sort of energy that leaves you more vulnerable to this attraction.6. In churchChurch can create a false sense of intimacy between members, or between a leader and a member, Macleod said. People may open up about their marriage problems, looking for comfort, not realizing that others may take advantage of that vulnerability or else develop feelings for that person.AOGhttps://www.facebook.com/wprunier/posts/pfbid0sCoK4Y3SAQ44cdw895UjBL3opfpSgzTL23XR9S1TWsfDKWbqDveEELEysnCP2qBwlHigher Level Customer Service

As a self-described musical theater nerd to a now award-winning country music artist, Meghan Patrick joins Gary to discuss her journey both as an artist and an individual. Patrick shares how different genres, and life experiences have influenced her path, and a desire always to make time for the important things. In this episode:How Meghan got her startThe dynamics of being in a band Being authentic in the music industryFinding balance as a boss Facing the economic realities of pursuing a career in musicThis episode is sponsored by: Habana CubaAbout Meghan:Gifted, award-winning, chart-topping… cool. There are plenty of apt adjectives that apply to Meghan Patrick. But perhaps the most meaningful descriptor for the acclaimed country singer/songwriter is authentic.Patrick is a musician who always tells it like it is in a voice as gorgeously persuasive as they come.  So, when she describes her electrifying third full-length studio album, Heart on My Glass, as “the most ‘me' record I've ever made,” it's a profound statement given the sincerity that has come before.It's also a handy metaphor for summing up the new album's many sonic textures and flavors, some familiar to long-time listeners and others new— blues and gospel, anyone? — but all yanked straight from Patrick's rich reservoir of influences.Funny what a pandemic year spent hunkering down in a town like Nashville will do for your music.“This is a special record for me for a lot of reasons,” Patrick confirms. “I had so much more time over the past year to focus on writing and really being able to dig into what my sound and message should be. This feels like the most all-encompassing representation of me as a writer, an artist, and a human. All the pieces fell into place.”www.GaryScottThomas.com

But I think for most midsize to small, to even medium or large banks, the cost savings story is tough. - LexWhat's going to feel very natural in 10 or 15 years is that you'll have digital ownership over all your stuff.

AJ Saunders, a self-proclaimed SEO geek since 2014 and helps coach e-commerce brands to understand and use SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) to grow their business to 6-figures annually. Having worked on hundreds of business websites across multiple niches and industries, AJ's one big tip is to set measurable KPIs to gauge the health of any online business. Solid SEO is still the best way to bring customers to your website, because it is low-cost lead gen where you own the farm, as opposed to social media platforms, where frankly, you do not. Marketers are looking for shortcuts all the time, they want to be easily found, and they want fast sites and great content. Google is trying to counteract some of these parasites using short-term techniques and methods that don't work long-term. Content should not be written for search engines, but for people. This gave birth to keyword farms and different types of link trees, but it only polluted everything. As far as Google is concerned, people are trying to get into the game instead of making it user-friendly. As long as you're doing good content, improving, and adding value. Have your header set up correctly, tag your images correctly, and have an excellent internal and external link structure, then SEO will work for your business. Measuring KPIs on the page level, and on the domain level, and then zooming out to see how things are going in terms of sales, and in terms of leads captured. You have to understand the health of your website. It's always best to have 2-3 KPIs. It's not just creating the actual content that goes on the page, it's creating the map and the call to action, you really should be telling people what to do next, there should be a flow. There are a lot of companies that say, sign up here to get my newsletter. People already get thousands of emails a day. Articulate the value they will receive, a good example is in the executive coaches' world where they're giving out a lot of great information, or when a company sends out 15% off coupons every once in a while. In both of those cases, the value of what that company or person is giving has already been defined on that same CTA, and you will get some pretty low engagement. Selling an organic search engine optimization service is not as transactional as people may think, there's a lot of groundwork that goes into it. The analysis of how everything is working, changes that will need to be made to make the SEO campaign much more effective, and results, when bringing on a new client, to be able to show them this service works.Much work might be done in the first 30-60 days, but most of the results will take three to six months. Even if you have the best product in the marketplace and the best marketing, this won't matter. Sometimes a client can become unhappy, nervous, or impatient with the results in their given timeframe. Having a strategy and tactics in place to take it step by step by step. The marketplace can take longer to respond. The strategy in place will definitely work, but the timeframe will vary.

Today's guest on episode 47 is Shay Skinner. Shay came to me with a question for a Q&A episode that I felt was far too intriguing to address in short form. What I've found in four years of running this platform is that it's often easy to find yourself preaching to the choir, in a sense. Perhaps folks are new to some of these methods, but below the surface, most who are successful in their pursuit of financial independence come with some solid ground work already in place. At the foundation is often a supportive family.Shay wrote to me about her history of near financial ruin and eventual bankruptcy. Upon follow-up, it occurred to me that her story was so different from the typical money nerd that I had to have her on. Most importantly, I think her history is far more relatable to many in the general public. Shay did not have a solid support system from her family. In fact, at certain periods members of her family sought to actively undermine her wellbeing. From this stemmed a serious downward spiral in mental health, ultimately culminating in a suicide attempt.But we are not just here to discuss hard-luck stories.What drew me to Shay's narrative is her accountability for an absolutely miserable situation. While she was certainly not to blame for her circumstances, she took a point-forward look at her life. She filed for bankruptcy, and began a slow process of climbing out of debt and using the same old methods of saving and investing to put herself on solid financial footing.This is a story of redemption, and I'm happy to bring it to you today. I want to thank Shay for her willingness to discuss deeply personal and hard topics. Topics Discussed with Shay SkinnerShay's introduction to rock climbing as a positive life forceHow Shay was disowned by her family at age 19, leading to a mental health crisisWhy Shay came to bankruptcy as a clean startThe shame of bankruptcy and the requirements for filingDiscovering a path towards financial independence from a coworkerComparison culture and hidden ways it impacts our spendingShay's psychological struggles with stock market volatilityThe importance of communityMoney relationships with a partnerHow Shay has gone from crushing debt to saving 50% of her income!Why Shay wants financial independence but doesn't want to stop workingWhy women resist early retirement more than menThe importance of discussing moneyThe pros and cons of a college educationSo much more! Support this project: Buy Me a CoffeeGet the newsletter: SUBSCRIBE ME!Show Notes and Links at Clippingchains.com Posts on Health Savings AccountsPart 2: The CC Family Investing StrategyYour 2021 Guide To Actually Saving Real MoneyEP 22: Your Questions Answered: Volume 4QA7: Financial Freedom Fast-Tracks and Climbing Plateau Busters Other Related PostsPersonal Finance: Not Very Sexy, Huh?This is the Wild Ride We Signed Up ForWhy Trying to Quit My Job (Sort of) Made It BetterFinancial Advisor: Who Needs One?EP 39: Peter Beal: Can You Afford to Be Sponsored?A list of all posts and podcast episodes can be found here. Shay's Charitable GivingNAMI Boulder CountyThe Shane Thurston Foundation BooksThe Simple Path to Wealth: Your road map to financial independence and a rich, free life (JL Collins)Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle (Emily Nagoski, Amelia Nagoski)The Sisters of Auschwitz: The True Story of Two Jewish Sisters' Resistance in the Heart of Nazi Territory (Roxane van Iperen)Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine (Robert H.

Family dinners are something we see highlighted across movies and TV shows. If we're honest though, it's something we are experiencing less and less in our own lives. Filled with laughs, connection and rich culture it's something we all crave more of. Recently as I scoured the new show library for Magnolia Network I came across Andrew Zimmern's newest show Family Dinner. “Andrew visits families across America to explore how the cultural, regional, and historical facets of who we are inform what and how we eat, and all the ways food brings people together.”  Everything about it left me wanting to know more.

June 28: Saint Irenaeus, Bishop and Martyrc. 125–c. 200Memorial; Liturgical Color: RedPatron Saint of apologists and catechistsThe Church was explicitly Catholic from the startThe iconic opening words of Julius Caesar's Gallic War are “All Gaul is divided into three parts.” The chieftains of these three regions of Roman Gaul (France) met yearly in the southern city of Lugdunum, known today as Lyon. These rough noblemen and their large retinues trekked to Lyon in 12 B.C. for the dedication of the Sanctuary of the Three Gauls on the slope of Lyon's hill of the Croix Rousse. The inauguration ceremony was an elaborate reinforcement of Rome's military, religious, and commercial dominance. Pagan priests performed pagan rites on pagan altars to pagan gods, asking those gods to favor the new sanctuary, the tribes present, and the city. This important sanctuary remained a focal point of Lyon's civic and religious life for centuries. And in the sand and dirt of this Sanctuary of the Three Gauls, in 177 A.D., the blood of the first Christian martyrs of Gaul was spilled. Here they were abused, tortured, and executed. Killed for their faith were about fifty Christians, including the Bishop of Lyon, Pothinus, and a slave woman named Blandine. While they were imprisoned and awaiting their fate, these future martyrs wrote a letter to the Pope and gave it to a priest of Lyon to carry to Rome. That priest was today's saint, Irenaeus.With the dead bishop Pothinus' mutilated remains tossed into the river, Irenaeus was chosen as his replacement. He would remain the Bishop of Lyon until his death. It was in this way that the tragic end of some raised others to prominence. As the first generation of Christians in Gaul retreated from history, the great Saint Irenaeus, the most important theologian of the late second century, emerged. Copies of Saint Irenaeus' most important works survived through the ages, likely due to their fame and importance, and are now irreplaceable texts for understanding the mind of an early Church thinker on a number of matters. Irenaeus was from Asia Minor and a disciple of Saint Polycarp, a martyr-bishop of Smyrna, who was himself a disciple of Saint John the Evangelist. The voice of Saint Irenaeus is, then, the very last, remote echo of the age of the Apostles. Similar to those of Saint Justin Martyr, Irenaeus' writings astonish in proving just how early the Church developed a fully Catholic theology.In keeping with other theologians of the patristic era, Irenaeus focused more on the mystery of the Incarnation, and Christ as the “New Adam,” than on a theology of the Cross. He also called Mary the “New Eve” whose obedience undoes Eve's disobedience. Irenaeus' writings primarily critique Gnosticism, which held that Christianity's truths were a form of secret knowledge confined to a select few. The only true knowledge is knowledge of Christ, Irenaeus argued, and this knowledge is accessible, public, and communicated by the broader Church, not secret societies. Irenaeus fought schismatics and heretics, showing just how early the connection between correct theology and Church unity was understood. His main work is even entitled “Against Heresies.”He promoted apostolic authority as the only true guide to the correct interpretation of Scripture and, in a classic statement of theology, Irenaeus explicitly cited the Bishop of Rome as the primary example of unbroken Church authority. Like Saint Cyprian fifty years after him, Irenaeus described the Church as the mother of all Christians: “...one must cling to the Church, be brought up within her womb and feed there on the Lord's Scripture.” This theology notes a beautiful paradox. While in the physical order, a child leaves his mother's womb and grows ever more apart from her as he matures, the Church's motherhood exercises an opposite pull on her children. Once she gives us new life through baptism, our bonds with Mother Church grow ever stronger and tighter as we mature. We become more dependent on her sacraments, more intimate with her life and knowledge, as we grow into adulthood. The Church becomes more our mother, not less, as we age.On Pope Saint John Paul II's third pastoral visit to France, in October 1986, his very first stop was the Sanctuary of the Three Gauls in Lyon. Excavated and opened to the public in the mid-twentieth century, it rests largely unknown, a ruin, in a residential neighborhood. Before dignitaries and a large crowd, the Pope prostrated himself and kissed the site where the many martyrs of Lyon died so many centuries before. Saint Irenaeus may have been looking on from the stone benches that fateful day in 177 A.D. when his co-religionists were murdered. The blood of those forgotten martyrs watered the seed that later flowered into the great saint we commemorate today.Saint Irenaeus, may your intercession strengthen our wills, enlighten our minds, and deepen our trust. Like you, we want to be loyal sons and daughters of God, and loyal, educated, and faithful members of His Church. Help us to fulfill our loftiest and our most noble goals.

So, when the consultant told her to prepare for the worst it came as a complete shock for her. Luckily, Greg had life cover and a really generous death in service benefit that covered the mortgage and day-to-day living expenses. Although Gemma didn't need to worry about the basic bills there was one thing that kept her awake at night. What can she do now with her life? Who was she now that Greg is gone? What does she want her future to look like? Let me know if you are facing these challenges. You've always wanted to be your own boss but you don't know where to startThe thought of opening a shop scares you to death, what if nobody will buy your productsOpening a local bakery or coffee shop sounds cute but it would take a lot of workWorking from home would actually suit you better but can you run a business from home?Most franchises cost more than $10,000 to join so what business can you start? If only there was a way to quickly and easily assess which type of business you can start and run successfully with $10K. In this post, you'll learn all about the type of businesses you can start for less than $10K that'll bring in $5,000 to $10,000 a month in less than 12 months. Small Business Statistics Before diving into these business ideas for $10k or less let's look at some small business statistics. Did you know that there are over 29 million small companies in the US? This statistic was kindly provided by the folks at Findstack. What's even more interesting is that 50% of small businesses start at home. It reminds me that last week I made a loaf of wicked vegan banana bread and I'm considering selling it locally (pipe dream). Let me not distract you from the core numbers, 29% of small business owners stated that they started their business to be their own boss. While 17% said that they were dissatisfied with corporate America. Are you a teeth grinder? Lol!! Just reading that statistic made me grind my teeth unconsciously (I'm not sure how to get rid of that habit). The number one statistic that I always find surprising is that 99% of businesses in the US are small businesses. Thanks to the folks at Thrive My Way for this fact. Here's the statistic that causes potential entrepreneurs to get wobbly knees. 50% of startups fail within the first year of business. Just when you think that statistic was bad, this one will send you screaming back into your safe and comfortable office cubicle. 95% of small startups fail within the first 5 years. Do you still want to be your own boss? Let's face it starting and running a business is hard work. What can you do to make it easier? Know Yourself What if I told you that one of the secrets of succeeding in business is getting to know yourself intimately? So many people walk around on this earth and they have no idea what they want in life. I know because I've been in their shoes. Let me ask you a question, have you ever created a vision board? Or have you written down your goals for the next 3-5 years in granular detail? If you believe that starting and running a business is hard then you haven't tried writing down your goals. In my opinion, it is a lot harder to define my goals and dreams in every tiny detail. Let me ask you another question, what are the things that you don't want in your business? Only recently I was asked this question and I stumbled a bit before writing down a few paragraphs.

098 – God's will for you is healingOver the years I've talked to many Christians about God's healing power and that this is part of the original Christianity Jesus taught and practiced during his ministry, and that it should be part of Christianity today.Today we're talking about the fact, yes the fact, that it is God's will for you to be healed.So, why is one person healed when you pray for them and another person is not healed?I don't have all the answers to that question, but I do have some observations to share. Here are a few reasons your prayers may not bring healing.When you start your prayer with a doubt or a lack of faith that God is able to healWhen you start your prayer with the possibility that it might be God's will not to healWhen you are preoccupied with un-godlike thoughts: fear, worry, selfishness, sin, etc.When you're not tuned into the right spiritual wavelengthWhere to startThe best place to start to understand that it IS God's will for you to be healed is with what Jesus said about healing and who and how he healed. Jesus always did the Father's will. That means that when Jesus healed someone, it was God's will that they were healed. Jesus never told someone they weren't ready to be healed or that God was teaching them a lesson through suffering.But isn't that what we say sometimes when we're not healed?I have had many healings and seen many in my family and the Christian Church as a whole, in many denominations.Don't give upBut when I haven't been healed though, I don't give up. I don't decide it must be God's will not to heal me. I keep praying. I keep asking God for guidance and insight on how to fast and pray more effectively. And by fasting, I don't mean going without food for a certain amount of time. I mean fasting from negative, self-focused, fearful, sinful thinking.Once I was healed of an unsightly growth on my abdomen about the size of a walnut. I had been praying for several months but it kept getting bigger. I finally realized I had to be healed of resentment and animosity toward someone. When I healed that in my heart, I knew the problem was healed too. And the growth melted away in just a few days.God is always able and willing to heal. It is His nature. It is His will that you are healed through His presence, His love, His mercy, and grace.If you have questions about God's healing power, I'd love to chat with you. James Early is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster and conducts Bible workshops online and in person.

If you are a follower of Christ you have heard at some point in time that each of us is called to share the good news of Christ. We are called to the big word— evangelism! Most of us are fearful of that word and many of us ask the question, “Why Me?” And, what is so urgent in telling others about Jesus Christ? The inevitable question we ask is “Isn't that what my Pastor or Minister is for?” Aren't they the ones who are front and center to go out and spread the Gospel? Well, today we sit down with our Lead Pastor Steve Darr and talk about the shift that needs to take place in our thinking because yes, it's you! And yes, the time is now!In this episode you'll discover:What it means to be in the last daysWhy so many Christians find it difficult to proclaim the good newsHow do we regain our passion and urgency to share JesusThe connection between love and sharing the GospelLearn other ways to reflect the Gospel when you don't know where to startThe world has been inoculated against the spread of the Gospel. A majority of people who reject Christianity, reject the Word of God and the message of the Gospel because they have received a Gospel inoculation. They have received a false gospel and not the real thing. Have you heard the true and real Gospel of Jesus Christ? Great!

https://www.linkedin.com/in/arigunz/ (Ari Gunzburg) is a rising new star in personal growth after experiencing trauma as a child and then extreme volatility as a teenager. As an award-winning international speaker, Ari motivates people using personal stories filled with triumph, tragedy, and transformation. Ari also helps inspire people using one-on-one coaching and his books for both children and adults. New in 2020 is his debut non-fiction title,https://www.amazon.com/Little%20-%20Book%20-%20Greatness%20-%20Parable%20-%20Unlocking/dp/B08GVJ6KQ9 ( The Little Book of Greatness).   “If something truly isn’t working, the sooner you realize it, the better off you are.” Ari Gunzburg   Worst investment everAri used to deliver a book called The Advertiser while growing, a small book full of advertisements from the community businesses and delivered to every home in Baltimore. Starting his own book of advertisementsAs a young man, Ari had a dream to start a similar book, and the opportunity came when he moved to Cleveland. He reached out to the people running it originally and made an offer, and they accepted. Ari started working on the book, and he put everything into it. He went knocking on business owners’ doors, trying to sell them to the idea of advertising in the book. In Baltimore, all the business owners believed that they needed to be in the book because that’s where people look to find out what is going on. In Cleveland, though, things were different, and the business owners needed some convincing. A poor startThe book’s uptake was not encouraging, but Ari persisted and kept trying everything he could to make it work. Things didn’t get better; in fact, they got worse. Simultaneously, a website that many people in Cleveland went to for information and news was also running an advertising section and charging low advertising prices. The website was giving Ari real competition. Doing the math and cutting his lossesAfter three years of giving this book his best and still barely making any money, Ari started thinking about closing it down, but he didn’t have the courage to do it. One day, Ari spoke with a business coach who asked him to consider a scenario in which his book suddenly became wildly successful, and every single business in town started advertising with him. What’s the maximum amount of dollars that he could make? Ari ran the numbers quickly in his head and realized that that number was about half a million a year before taking out expenses. This number made Ari realize that it was time to close shop. It was just not enough to keep him afloat. Lessons learnedPersistence is not about persevering in every situation at all costsPersistence is about recognizing when you should stick it out and when you should throw in the towel. Being persistent with things that you don’t want to be doing, or that are not working for you, or an investment that’s just losing money is pointless. Be aware of the advice you’re getting and where it’s coming fromIt is good to have sounding boards that can help you process your advice and decide if it is in line with where you truly see yourself going. Always feel free to say no to advice if it does not suit you. Andrew’s takeawaysUnderstand the actual market size and potentialAs you are researching your business, make sure you calculate your actual market size and income potential. This will guide you on whether you should invest your money and time in that business. Advice is good, but you must process itIt is good to receive all advice, but you must process that advice and identify what part of it is right for you and which one is not. Welcome advice, but accept that not all of it will come from a place of genuine understanding.

God is primarily interested in who you are and then what you do. He well understands that the latter will flow from the former.Ultimately, pastors are to be examples to the church of how the gospel produces godliness.” P. 234Episodes:Context (5)Blameless (6a, 7a)The Elder as Husband (6b)The Elder as a Father (6c)The Elder as a Christian Man (Personal qualities) (7-8)Not...But...The Elder as a Theologian (Pastor/under-shepherd) (9)Our process at Grace CF.Pray.Pursue someone you feel led to ask.

(Acts 14:23)Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you. (Heb 13:17)Prepare yourself or help him prepare.”To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ's sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: 2 Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be;not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away” (1 Peter 5:1-4)Partner with current elder/pastor (apprentice).Pursue becoming an elder. Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. “Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.” 1 Tim 3:1 NIVNotes from Bible Knowledge CommentaryTitus 1:5–16 (BKC):II. Qualifications of the Elders (1:5–9).1:5. As with Timothy in Ephesus (1 Tim. 1:3), Paul had left Titus behind to provide leadership to the fledgling church in Crete. Now the apostle reiterated his previous instructions, both for Titus' sake and for the congregation's. The organization of the Cretan church was unfinished due to the brevity of Paul's visit. Thus Titus was to straighten out (lit., “set in order”) the situation by appointing elders in every town. Titus was now acting as an apostolic agent (cf. Acts 14:23) in Paul's absence. His authority in the Cretan church was an extension of Paul's own. Such authority ended with the close of the Apostolic Age.1:6. As in 1 Timothy 3:2–7 Paul listed the qualifications for elders (cf. comments on 1 Tim. 3:1). There the list numbered 15; here 17. Yet both lists cover essentially the same qualities: (1) the elder must be blameless (anenklētos, “unreprovable”). In 1 Timothy 3:10 Paul used this same word of deacons, while in 1 Timothy 3:2 he used anepilēmpton to express the same thought of the elders. (2) Husband of but one wife probably means that the elder should have been married only once (see comments on 1 Tim. 3:2). (3) The elder must have his own household under control. This involves not only the matter of discipline (1 Tim. 3:4–5), but also positive spiritual influence as well. His children must be believers who are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. The apostle had explained why this requirement is important (1 Tim. 3:5).1:7. Here Paul switched from the term “elder” (presbyteros) to overseer (episkopos). The two words are plainly interchangeable in the apostle's thinking, referring to the same church office. The term “overseer” is singular here, but this certainly does not mean that there must be only one episkopos per congregation. Rather the word is used here in a generic sense. Paul was simply affirming that these qualifications are required of all overseers.The need for blamelessness is repeated from verse 6. The reason this quality is so important is that an overseer serves as a steward of God. Damage to a church leader's reputation is damage to God's reputation.Then Paul resumed his list with five vices which must not characterize an overseer: (4) not overbearing, not arrogant and self-willed; (5) not quick-tempered (cf. James 1:19–20); (6) not given to much wine; (7) not violent (cf. 1 Tim. 3:3 for this and the previous vice); (8) not pursuing dishonest gain (cf. comments on 1 Tim. 6:5).1:8. Whereas verse 7 lists negative characteristics to avoid, verse 8 lists positive qualities to be sought. The elder must be (9) hospitable (cf. 1 Tim. 3:2); (10) one who loves what is good (cf. Ps. 15); (11) self-controlled, or temperate and sensible (sōphrona; cf. Gal. 5:23; 1 Tim. 3:2; Titus 2:2, 4); (12) upright (dikaion, “just”); (13) holy (these last two are, with blamelessness, two of the characteristics Paul himself had modeled [cf. 1 Thes. 2:10], but neither is mentioned in 1 Tim. 3); and (14) disciplined (in contrast to the vices of Titus 1:7; cf. 1 Tim. 4:7–8).1:9. Not only must an overseer meet moral and spiritual standards in his personal life, but he must also be a reliable man of the Word. (15) He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught. This last clause, “as it has been taught,” actually comes first in the Greek, for emphasis. According to Paul, an elder is a conservator of the truth, one who must understand it, hold it fast; (16) encourage others by teaching it; and (17) refute those who oppose it. To be qualified as an elder a man must be a capable handler of the truth (cf. comments on 1 Tim. 3:2).Notes from Warren Wiersbe's BECTitus 1:5–9 (BEC): Ordain Qualified Leaders (Titus 1:5–9)One reason Paul had left Titus on the island of Crete was that he might organize the local assemblies and “set in order” the things that were lacking. Titus 1:5–9 (BEC): That phrase is a medical term; it was applied to the setting of a crooked limb. Titus was not the spiritual dictator of the island, but he was Paul's official apostolic representative with authority to work. It had been Paul's policy to ordain elders in the churches he had established (Acts 14:23), but he had not been able to stay in Crete long enough to accomplish this task......Titus 1:5–9 (BEC): The fact that these standards applied to Christians on the island of Crete as well as to those in the city of Ephesus proves that God's measure for leaders does not fluctuate. A big-city church and a small-town church both need godly people in places of leadership.“Titus 1:7a (BEC): The steward of God” (v. 7a). A steward does not own but manages all that his master puts into his hands. Perhaps the most famous steward in the Bible is Joseph, who had complete control over all of Potiphar's business (Gen. 39:1–9). The most important characteristic of a steward is faithfulness (Matt. 25:21; 1 Cor. 4:1–2). He must use what his master gives him for the good and glory of his master, and not for himself personally (see Luke 16:1–13).Titus 1:7a (BEC): The elder must never say, “This is mine!” All that he has comes from God (John 3:27) and must be used for God. His time, possessions, ambitions, and talents are all loaned to him by the Lord; and he must be faithful to use them to honor God and build the church. Of course, all Christians ought to be faithful stewards, and not the pastors only!Notes from “Opening Up Titus” commentary"The third title, steward, is hidden by the NIV translation of verse 7. A more literal rendering would be, ‘an overseer must be blameless as a steward of God'. The steward was the man whom a wealthy master would put in charge of his household or business. It was a position of considerable trust. It required someone who was wise and faithful and trustworthy. And here Paul says that an elder is a steward. He is to manage the affairs of God's house, ensuring that the work of his divine Master gets properly done and caring for his Master's servants.""Elder, overseer, steward—these are the words Paul uses for the leaders who are to be appointed in our churches. Singly and together they mark the position out as one of considerable responsibility. Evidently a Christian of high calibre is required""Clearly, Paul's description is of considerable use to those who already are elders. It calls us to self-examination and to seek by the grace of God to be far more the Christian leaders that God intends us to be. The primary concern of these verses, however, is not with being the right kind of elders, but with appointing them. What kind of men should your church be setting apart for eldership? What kind of men does God want in that office? Here in Titus 1 we have a very clear answer!“"Summing it all up at the startThe apostle begins with a summary word and later on, in verse 7, repeats it. It is the word blameless, and it gathers into one the various elements of the apostle's description.We do have to be careful here not to impose on this word a meaning that it is not intended to bear. ‘This does not of course mean,' writes John Stott, ‘that candidates must be flawless or faultless, or we would all be disqualified.' The idea is rather that of being ‘above reproach'. Morally and spiritually, the elder is to be exemplary. No one should be able to accuse him of either serious misconduct or a general pattern of inappropriate behaviour. He should have a good reputation among outsiders and within the church as well. And as far as doctrine is concerned, he should be sound."The commentator breaks these qualifications down into these categories:The Elder as HusbandThe Elder as a FatherThe Elder as a Christian Man (Personal qualities)The Elder as a TheologianThe Elder as a Father"Paul has more to say about the elder's home life. Not only must he be a faithful husband; he must be a good father, one ‘whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient'. Something needs to be said here before we come to the details. It has to do with the previous point as well. Paul is not saying that a single man, or a widower, or a man who has been divorced on biblical grounds, or a man who has no children, or a man who has only one child cannot be an elder; that in order to be an elder a man must be married with children. What Paul is doing here is focussing on the norm. For the most part, the men in the church who would be eligible for eldership would be married men with children. It is this general situation that he has in mind.As far as the elder's children are concerned, Paul insists that they ‘believe' (NIV). In other translations these children are described, not as believing, but as faithful—faithful in the sense of submissive or obedient to their father's will. This is a preferable understanding. What is in Paul's mind is not belief but behaviour. He is not saying that an elder's children have to be Christians. But he is insisting that they be under their father's control and ‘not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient'. In his first letter to Timothy the apostle makes the same point: ‘The overseer … must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect' (3:4). Then follows the reason: ‘If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?' (3:5). If a man cannot look after his own household it cannot be expected that he will be able to take care of God's church. Failure in the one area will lead to failure in the other."The Elder as a Christian Man..."Moving now to the positive, an elder ‘must be hospitable'. The word ‘hospitable' comes from one which means ‘love of strangers'. It is primarily about caring for and welcoming into our homes those who need hospitality or would greatly benefit from it. Examples in our day would be visitors to our congregation, believers who have recently joined us, the lonely, the needy, the singles who are away from their families, etc. Hospitality is a duty that devolves upon us all. Paul makes that clear in Romans 12. And in Titus 1 he tells us that it is one of the qualifications for eldership"
