PASSAGE: Overseers and Deacons
MEMORY VERSE: "Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song" Psalm 95:2
NOTES: Instructions for an overseer, but I think is also a good guideline for a future husband :)
(v.1) "Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover a money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?)...Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience."
Now for wives: (v.11) "In the same way, their wives are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything."
ACT OF LOVE: Today, my parents came home after dinner with some guests, so I helped babysit their 3rd grade boy. We watched TV, talked, and ate some delicious blueberry yogurt! <3
