Titus 1

Paul recommended that leaders in the Church be blameless. Now that’s a tall order for anyone. What if they are NOT blameless? What is the path to achieving that status?

When blame can be laid at anyone’s feet, there is a solution. That person can acknowledge where they are wrong and correct it.

Since my earthly father passed away, I am involved in the family estate resolution and disbursement of assets. It can get sticky with close relatives you had no prior friction with. A commitment to blamelessness requires wrongs to be righted. Since I am in the middle of this process, I want to emerge with a blameless reputation.

Here is the scriptural formula for conflict resolution:

“… If, while you are offering your gift at the altar (praying), you should remember that your brother has something against you, you must leave your gift there before the altar (determining in your heart to make it right) and go away. Make your peace with your brother first, then come and offer your gift.” [Matt: 5:24]
