Today's Scripture *February 18, 2009*
Titus 2: 2-7
Teach the older men to exercise self-control, to be worthy of respect, and to live wisely. They must have sound faith and be filled with love and patience.
Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good. These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God.
In the same way, encourage the young men to live wisely. And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching.
Having people of all ages in the church makes it strong, but it also brings potential for problems.
Paul gave Titus counsel on how to help various groups of people.
The older people should teach the younger by words and by example. This is how values are passed on from generation to generation.
Does your church carry out this basic function?
Father, we praise You and give You thanks for Your Word to us.
May we use the teachings that we have learned and apply them to our lives and to the life of our churches.
In Jesus' Name, Amen..
Bless you!
In His Service,
April
