Titus 1:8, “Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.”

Interesting points:
In this verse, Paul continues the list of elder qualifications which began in Verse 5. The six traits elders must exhibit are:
1) Hospitable. Practically, as the early church met in homes, a hospitable elder would put those entering the home at ease. Spiritually speaking, the heart of a hospitable person is one who values others and chooses to place the needs of his guests above his own. This is aligned with the character of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

2) Loves what is good. An elder would not be suitable to lead Christians if he loved to see evil and injustice predominate. Instead, he would demonstrate the moral fortitude to see the cause of Christ advance and impact the world positively.

3) Self-controlled. This trait complements Verse 7 where elders are not to be "quick-tempered" and also serves as part of the fruit of the Spirit as found in Galatians 5:22–23.

4) Upright. Besides living morally, the original Greek term means "fair or just", choosing right over wrong and living life fully accountable to God and man.

5) Holy, meaning set apart by and for God, which results in conduct and behavior reflecting His nature.

6) Disciplined. An elder must be able to stay focused, committed and obedient to God's Word. It is impossible to be obedient without discipline.

Application.
Brothers, like’s yesterday’s verse, this list is particularly useful in ensuring that only people with the right temperament, values and spiritual maturity are appointed to servant-leader positions in the body of Christ. It prevents the body of Christ from being harmed and from developing a bad reputation with non-believers. As we look at this list today, let’s lift up the areas where we still need work to the Lord in prayer.
May we remember and draw strength from the fact that God disciplines those that He loves, transforming them to live fruitful lives for the kingdom!
