" 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, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God not be blasphemed"
Titus 2:3-5
Over the last several years I have asked hundreds of women, "can you tell me the eight things God requires of a woman, which if she does not obey she will be guilty of blaspheming God's Word"? Most women responded with a blank look, not having a clue as to the answer.
God told the Older women to teach only one message. It is found in Titus 2. The next section of this book covers these eight important things.

An amazing book...
I have to say that I have always been discouraged by the lack of older women coming along side younger women...everyone has their own life to live and no time for the Biblical fellowship that should be going on. I love when I get to encourage others and give advise,(although I don't have much to give as I am still working through my own weaknesses). I desperately desire a friendship with someone who's been there done that and has a sweet spirit of guiding the younger ones. I could almost cry because of this total lack in the Body. We are missing so much!
