Being Faithful by Richard Sherrer 04/15/26 Qualifications for Elders Titus 1:5-9 You might put what’s left in order, The way you have been directed; In each town appoint and elder, A true believer selected. If anyone above reproach, As the husband having one wife; Unto them you should then approach, With children of faith in his life. Do not charge with debauchery, Or having insubordination; Conducting in adultery, Any type of fornication. An overseer to be God’s steward, Not a drunkard or violent; Not arrogant or quick-tempered; But as faithfully vigilant. Hospitable, lover of good, Upright, holy, and disciplined; Always doing what Jesus would, Confessing what they have sinned. He must hold fast unto the Word, Trustworthy all that he was taught; Rebuking of what he has heard, That is blasphemy what others sought. So that he may give sound doctrine, Rebuking the contradictions; So that others be without sin, Preventing sinful convictions. Copyright © 2026 Richard Newton Sherrer
