“The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,”
Titus 2:3-4 KJV
Paul tells Titus to instruct the elderly women also to exhibit a consecrated character in all their conduct. To encourage them not to slander, or to get intoxicated with wine; their example makes beauty irresistibly attractive. They are to radiate a conversation that flows from a mind radically transformed by redemption realities. Their instruction should inspire young women to treat their husbands and children with tender affection. False accusing is the work of Satan. The devil and the fall of mankind are no longer our reference in conversation! Gossip (to be double-minded about someone) is a form of intoxication to be avoided at all costs! Replace that with fond affection for their husbands and children reflecting the fondness of God for mankind that persuaded our hearts! Let’s have our home reflecting the love of God inside and out! Amen!
