“Ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: If any be blameless, the husband of one wife” (Titus 1:5-6).
We have followed Marty and Anna on their journey with Marty’s unruly department. In a totally different setting and in a totally different company we find today a dear couple, Lucas and Haley, who are members of the same church as Marty and Anna. It was powerful as their pastor spoke about being the husband of one wife. The pastor explained that it was much more than simply only having one wife at a time. It literally meant to become a one-woman kind of man. Several of the guys at the trucking company thought they would play a trick on this “Christian” trucker. Before they left for routes, one of the guys would secretly record a pre-arranged conversation with this “righteous” Lucas. It was an awful plot whereby they would try to get Lucas to admit that he would like to have an affair if the chance ever came. Were they chagrined when Lucas was recorded as saying, “Guys! What a terrible question! My pastor explained that pastors are to live as a one-woman kind of man. I’m no pastor, but I want you to know that I want to live with Haley as my one-woman for me. Now you best be gettin’ to your trucks and gettin’ your minds on the business at hand. By the way, you might want to come to church with me on Sunday. I’d love to introduce you to my Haley, and church would be good for all of you.”
For today: Be on guard. There are enemies of the Word of God today that may very well try to trick or deceive you.
