Many argue that 1 Timothy 3:1-2 is either cultural, or is only applicable to leadership, within the church. However, we each are to all be leaders of some sort! This passage only lays out some of what you must strive for in your life!
Give me a desire to serve.
We each need to aspire to desire, this is not an ambition because there is no reward in this for the here and now!
We should want to serve.
IT is our job, not someone esle's...
Work in God's service at His leading and direction.
Any reward, is in Heaven not on Earth - so do not look for blessings by the dollar full!
Only with God's help will my walk match your talk!
We are to be blameless in the present, the past is past, confessed and forgiven!
We will never be faultless - hey, you and I are will fail! But it is not a continual state of failure.
May I live with integrity.
Marital fidelity is a must!
We are to be respectable within the day and culture in which we live.
Live with in the cultural constraint of Biblical behavior!
