Titus is instructed to be sure that the women of influence are tuned to what God considers most meaningful and profitable for Christ’s church. Paul says to Titus, be sure that each of the older women is taught that these five characteristics should characterize their daily lives. As I read this list and describe these qualities, do a mental check-up on how you are doing, ladies.
Titus 2:3 “…the older women likewise, that they be”:
“reverent in behavior”: We learned last year about how the godly, mature women were to Live Holy in an Unholy World;
“not slanderers”: They also were characterized by Speaking Gracefully in a Graceless World;
“not given to much wine”: The godly women also were visibly marked by Disciplining (their) Appetites in an Undisciplined World;
“teachers of good things”— Titus 2:4: These qualities gave the older women a powerful platform to model Godliness in an Ungodly World;
“that they admonish”: And, as the goal of their lives, these women were to make it a lifelong goal to be personally investing in others in a Detached World.
