A Christian's Priorities

This Poem was taken from Titus 1:6-9. I know that the passage is directing Titus on how to choose Elders and Deacons for his local congregation, but I believe like my Pastor, Bro.  John Wiltse, that ALL Christians are called to be ministers of God's Word to the world. The word minister is another word for servant. As followers of Christ, we are His servants ... His ministers. So I have written this poem to remind us of this important part of our calling to follow Jesus. I hope you enjoy it and take its words to heart.

A Christian's Priorities

Unquestioned integrity, we must possess

As Believers in the image of Christ’s Righteousness

Faithful and true to our spouse

No polygamy or adultery does He want in HIS House.

Our Children must be raised in the Christian faith

And not given to lawlessness or fits of disgrace.

Our character must impeachable be

And our household affairs kept orderly

For we are agents of God and His love

And must manage His home as He would above

We must not be aggressive, easily angered or given to drink

These things cloud our minds, we can’t clearly think

We must not be violent, greedy or seek financial gain

Instead should be hospitable, and desire only godly things

Discreet and fair-minded, self-controlled, holy in our living

Defending the Faith, no matter what we’re given

So learn from the past your Christian priority

FOT THIS IS HOW JESUS WOULD HAVE US TO BE!
