Be Blameless

1st Timothy 3:7~ Morever, he [the overseer] be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into the snare of the devil.

I am constantly reminded even though I am free in Christ and I have this freedom and there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, but also I need to not be a stumbly block for others. As Paul wrote the overseer must be full of integrity that even the non-believer can testify that he is. Even John wrote about Gaius who had such integrity that the brothers and sisters testified about his walk. We live in day and age where there is so many things that can be brought up against us and we can say "I am free in Christ." Our main goal should be to be about the other believer, "Does this help the other person grow?"

Counselors, you have a great opportunity to be a blessing to the lives of those Jr. Highers that God has ordained to be in the services that you serve at. We need to make the most of every opportunity because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:16). I would like you to take inventory of you life and everything that shows who you are. Look at your myspace pages, what is the content? What do your picture look like? I want to encourage and remind you that everything you do should not only reflect glory to our God but be a way to point to Christ and how he has changed your life. No, I am not labeling anyone specific but this is just one avenue of our life that can be used to show what Christ has done in your life. Jr. Highers do use myspace and will look you up. Also your page can be a stumbling block for someone else and that is one thing that I know I do not want to be responsible for.

God Bless-
