       Being “above reproach” is a reputation that is garnered from practicing the truth—the truth found in Jesus. Remember, this is why Paul said an elder, or overseer, “must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil” (1 Timothy 3:6, ESV). This confirms the philosophical basis for the onward progression of what we are discussing. And it’s simply not outward actions we are focusing on. The change in one’s character occurs in the development of our consciousness, or levels of consciousness, which occurs when the way the mind thinks is changed and re-geared by understanding of the truth (and that often occurs through life-experience). The good-old life experience with what the truth actually is and how it applies, and with experience in how God operates, with his faithfulness, grows our faith in our relationship with him.
