THE GOD-FILLED LIFE Titus 2:2 The Message Bible
“Your job is to speak out on the things that make for solid doctrine. Guide older men into lives of temperance, dignity, and wisdom, into healthy faith, love and endurance. Guide older women into lives of reverence so they end up as neither gossips nor drunks, but models of goodness. By looking at them, the younger women will know how to love their husbands and children, be virtuous and pure, keep a good house, be good wives. We don’t want anyone looking down on God’s Message because of their behavior. Also, guide the young men to live disciplined.”
This scripture is a challenge to leaders of the church, to all parents, and to all Christians in the church. We walk by God’s grace but we must remember that people, children, and youth do look at our lives.
