1 But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: 2 that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; 3 the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— 4 that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. 6 Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded, 7 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, 8 sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.
Titus 2:1-8 (NKJV)
Titus 2:1-8 (NKJV)
The rules of engagement will change, the political correctness and activism will be altered in modern terms creating a new level of tolerance to what God's word describes as abominable and not fit for the body of believers. Our world is inundated with these constant view point on all fronts and the above scripture provide us a road-map to stay above the fray.
For the rest of the year and coming ones, these can help our effectivenenss and our personal and fellowship growth in Him.
Be encouraged,
