Why The Church Desperately Needs Women of Faith Today - KLPTV.ORG

[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. Titus 2:3-5

The reason for such high standards of moral character and life style is the great need for spiritual grandmothers! Notice in verse four that the mature Christian women are to focus on and take responsibility to pour out their lives into the younger Christian women and disciple them. This is not a small task. "Teachers of good things" encompasses raising girls and young women in all aspects of Christian life. The weight of female discipleship training rests on the shoulders of the church's spiritual ladies, not the male pastor!

"Now she who is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day. [6] But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. [7] And these things command, that they may be blameless." 1 Tim 5:5-7
