Summer Recap
Over the summer we studied through the book “Adorned” by Nancy DeMoss, during our Sunday night Bible study. If you’ve been with us, it has been an encouraging and helpful study. We looked at what Titus 2 asks of women and how we can apply that to our own lives and walk. When studying through guidelines that the Bible has for Christian women, I have always studied and loved Proverbs 31. However, there is a treasure in studying and applying Titus 2 to your life and walk with Christ.
A Titus 2 woman is: Reverent, Not slanderous, A teacher of good things, A trainer of younger women, Self-controlled, Pure, A worker at home, Kind, Submissive to her husband.
(Titus 2: 3-5 “3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.”)
It is important that we as a church family, and ladies’ group, live out this calling. We need older women to reach out and teach the younger women. We also need younger women who are willing to go to those who are older and seek guidance (and listen.) This will create friendships and accountability that will help aid in your walk with Christ as well as your day to day living.
I know that this can be out of people’s comfort zones, which is where our theme for the year comes into play. "Fearless Faith" We have to know that when we have faith, face those fears (even the fear of striking up simple conversations and friendships) that we will become more of the women God designed us to be. It will be a help to you, your family, and our church as we reach out and mentor and disciple each other.
