TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things. Titus 2:3
​
​Memorize this Verse: (Cover the verse text and using just the first letters of each word try to recite the entire passage.)
​3. T A W L T T B I B A B H N F A N G T M W T O G T

Notes on verse:

“Aged women”: Those who no longer had child-rearing responsibilities, typically around age 60 (1 Tim. 5:3-10).

“Not false accusers”: A term used 34 times in the New Testament to describe Satan, the arch-slanderer.

“Good things”: Those things that please God (1:16), particularly the lessons (in verses 4-5).

We see in this, that the older women are to be an example of holiness in the church, at home and in the community. The teachers of good things can mean not only the Word of God, but could also teach by the type of holy upright life that they live before others.

They should not be heavy drinkers. There is something special about the relationship the mother, or grandmother, has with her family. The standards she sets in her own life usually become the standards of the whole family. This is the reason it is so important for her to live a holy life.

Many prominent men in God’s work were taught by their mothers. Timothy is a good Biblical example.
