'Since an overseer is entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless - not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.'
[Titus 1:7-9]
20. September 2010 Edit:
I like to imagine that all believers are overseers. Supervisors. Shepherds, really, over the people who are lost. And when they are found, when they come to realize the life that they can live in Jesus Christ, the overseers are there to guide them in their walk with God. I mean, after all... are we not all to be blameless in the sight of the Lord? Shouldn't we all strive to be love what is good, be hospitable, self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined? Just a thought.
