Titus 2 Breakdown

We must not go around speaking evil of othersand must not be heavy drinkers.

Now, how many of us ladies think of our motherson the phone saying " Pray for Johnny, Why? I know his wife is just been awful to him, and his kids are taking every penny and his bills are way past due and I also heard that the bank is taking his house but what else has gone wrong?" Now, Why on earth was all of that necessary, I believe we could have prayed for God to move on behalf of Johnny. I believe a prayer request is a powerful request that needs to be met with prayer not gossip. How many of us were raised in a home that your parents would say its not gossiping I am just merely stating a fact. Please do not continue this pattern, for the sake of our own lives and those living with us. Now, we as homemakers, wives, mothers, and militrary spouses can all use a good conversation on the telephone just to break up our day, it gets stressful cooking, cleaning, paying the bills, doing all the grocery shopping, laundry, and the list goes on. Be careful when you pick up that phone it can good or bad. Choose wisely what you are going to talk about. We do not want to speak evil of someone, even though we are very angry with someone, remeber its not them we are fighting it is Satan. God will take of them. Rememeber the old saying "If aint got nothing good to say don't say it at all." We need to set an example in our home for our children. When someone calls you and wants to Gossip, stop them. Tell them instead of adding fuel to the fire it would be best to just stop and pray for this person that Satan would stop using them. Do not allow ourselves to be evil speakers we want to what is good and acceptable unto the Lord. If you give Satan a little room to use you he begins taking over little by little in our lives. Allow God to use you for his Glory!

Secondly, I want to address us as ladies being heavy drinkers. Stay away from it ladies, this does no good at all for christ, his body (the church), our own bodies and our Marriages! We can not be a good wife and mother if we are heavy drinkers. We must take our calling as wives and mothers serious. Do we want to put up with a drunk lazy husband, no. Why should he put up with a wife who can not control her tongue, take care of him or their home. The children would not have a proper view of a wife or mother. How many marriages fall apart because of alcohol according to www.jsad.com per 1 liter of alcohol per capita divorce raises 20%. You tell me is it worth your marriage. Would we want our sons to marry a woman who drinks a lot or would we like our daughters to be heavy drinkers. God has laid out our plan as his people and it is so easy to follow if we will just submit ourselves. I know this is not an easy task but it gets easier the more you do it. Allow your husband to lead your home, follow him and help him all your days, and teach your children the ways of the Lord. Continue to study Titus 2 as we dive into it!
