How To Be A Godly Woman In An Ungodly World Titus 2:3-5
Love Your Husbands The marriage relationship takes priority Ephesians 5:22-33 lays down the principles These show how the husband and wife desire to love each other I hope we all can see in these verses instructions for both husband and wife Marriage is a partnership
When the marriage relationship is priority: The wife AND husband will be blessed The children will learn how to have successful marriage The wife & husband will be aware of the dangers of misplacing priorities This is in contrast to the ungodliness of our world where personal happiness is placed above every other priority
Love Your Children Loving our children does not mean: Giving them everything they want Making sure that they keep up with the world Make their own religious decisions
Loving children requires: Discipline (Prov. 23:13-14) Look what a lack of discipline produces (1 Sam. 3:13) Caring for their spiritual needs (2 Tim. 1:5)
Develop Christian Character Be discreet Being sound-minded, self-controlled This affects the success of whatever we do (1 Cor. 9:25) Be chaste Spiritual influence cannot be overlooked (1 Peter 3:1-2) Being pure in all relationships is a priceless commodity
Homemakers Not a prohibition against working outside the home (Prov. 31:16-18, 24; Acts 16:14) A prohibition against making a career a priority Be good Benevolent, helpful, hospitable “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith” (Gal. 6:10)
Obedient to your husband Not cultural, in the beginning (Gen. 3:16) Voluntary submission (Eph. 5:22)
