1 Timothy 3:2 NASB "An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, skillful in teaching,"What a list of qualifications! Today we read what qualities an overseer should have, I wonder how many check marks we could make on our list?! We needed to hire a  supervisor for the new position and as we sat around discussing the applications of those who applied for the position, I couldn't help but see the one line on a certain application. The line read "I can not work Sundays for my family and I attend Church Service". I couldn't help but think two things about this person - 1. He was willing to share that he was a church goer and 2. He was committed to putting God first in his life. He didn't end up getting the position for there were others who were more qualified, but my faith grew that day. To see a man, willing to state that he puts God first, is a rare man these days - maybe we need to think of putting God first and not being ashamed to say we go to church! peace, tom
