Any group that desires to accomplish anything of value must have leaders. Leadership is a beautiful and godly thing if done right. The churches in Crete needed godly leaders. If led well those churches would produce quality Christian Workers, workers who could model their lives after their godly leaders. Our passage lays out the qualifications of such leaders and workers.

Life is filled with joy busters and joy builders. While one can never totally rid life of joy busters, it is possible to fill life with a Bible based joy – crazy joy – a joy based on the powerful perspectives and promises of God – a joy taught and exampled in the book of Philippians; a joy that begins with Confidence.
Loving parents long to see their children fly, to soar above the stuff of this world and to succeed in life. God is a loving parent and He wants to see us fly! Flying requires confidence! Ultimate Confidence is the kind of basic spiritual confidence that provides the foundation and framework for general life confidence. In our passage this week we learn about the basics of this kind of confidence.
We have all heard and probably used the expression, “Is nothing holy anymore?” Unfortunately the concept of holiness is fading from our culture. But God is HOLY. And God calls His children to be HOLY. What does it mean and how do we pursue it?
This last month we have looked at God’s generosity; our stewardship and the faith behind it all. Today we focus on the practical question of to whom and toward what we should give. The big question deals with whether our giving priorities line up with Gods.
The Prayer of Paul
Composed from the prayers of Paul in Ephesians 1 & 3, Philippians 1 & Colossians 1
With praise and thanksgiving, I come before you, Lord—the God of my Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father—and I ask for a Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that I can know you better. I ask, also, that you will enlighten the eyes of my heart so that I can know the hope to which you have called me, my inheritance in the saints, and the tremendous power that is available to me as a believer.
I ask also that from your store of glorious spiritual riches you will strengthen my inner man with power so that Christ will live in me by faith. I pray that I will have the supernatural ability to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. May I know that love by experience—the kind of love that surpasses knowledge—so that I can be filled with God himself. I realize, too, that there is a Spirit in me that is able to do beyond all I can ask or imagine. Lord, may that Spirit work in me and bring glory to Jesus!
I pray that as I experience a fresh revelation of your love, this love will mature in me and grow in knowledge and wise insight. May I be able to discern what is best and to live blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ.
Now, Father, fill me with a knowledge of your will as your spirit gives me wisdom and understanding. Let me live a life worthy of Jesus and please him in every way. Grant me to produce good fruit, to be strengthened with all power, to have great endurance and to always praise you, the God who has rescued me from the dominion of darkness and who has brought me into the kingdom of light.
I ask all of this in the wonderful and powerful name of Jesus and I thank you that no weapon formed against me or the fulfillment of this prayer will be successful.
Amen.
