Titus 2 Woman Bible Study |Part Two
4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
These are some of the "good things" that the aged women are to teach the younger women. First of all, if you are a mother and you have a daughter or daughters, you can teach her these things at home. Hopefully she will choose to believe it and obey God's word and live according to God's will for her. As your children get older, you can then teach these things to other younger women who are willing to hear it. Even if your own children do not decide to believe for themselves, which sadly does happen even with Christian families who homeschool etc, you can STILL teach other younger women who are WILLING and perhaps eager to hear these things. Don't believe Satan's lies that you are a failure and shouldn't teach others if the people immediately around you reject God's word. It may have taken Noah 120 years of preaching before his own family finally believed! Even the Lord's family didn't all believe until after his resurrection!
They are to teach the younger women to be sober. Men and women of all ages should be sober and not given to much wine. We are also to be sober in that we are not drunk on vain religion, philosophies of men, or any kind of worldliness. Religion is man trying to earn his way into heaven or to earn special blessings from God. Religious thinking and activity is ungodly. They have a form of godliness but are denying the power thereof. People today are saved by grace through faith alone without the works of the law. Believers then are to live by grace through faith. We walk by FAITH and not by sight. We live by His faith which means allowing Christ and His word to live in and through us as believers. We teach this to younger women through Bible study but also by our lifestyle.
I don't attend denominational or even evangelical churches because they do not teach God's word rightly divided. I would attend a Midacts Rightly Divided Dispensational Grace church if I had one in my area, but I don't. I do Bible study on my own, I have a few friends and family that are fellow believers that I can discuss Bible study with, and I also sometimes watch male grace preachers and women grace teachers who are on YouTube. I also read commentaries, newsletters and blogs on occasion by Right Dividers and I do Bible studies with an older godly woman over the phone about once every other week. She is not only older physically but she's more spiritually mature, having studied the word rightly divided for many years now. She has written several Bible study books for women and publishes a monthly newsletter. She also is married and raised her own children - is a homemaker and had homeschooled her children and she even took care of her elderly parents before they died. She is a godly example for me. She understands grace living. It's not just head knowledge to her, but she really lives it out. She also taught me more about HOW to really study out the scriptures more for myself. I had already learned the basics of rightly dividing before we became friends, but she taught me even more about personal Bible study, really thinking out the verses for myself and about grace living. Our Bible studies together have helped me in ALL areas in my life, including with my homemaking, marriage and family as well as with this ministry. This is because as we get sound grace doctrine built up in our inner man it works effectually in us. Believers are to teach and encourage one another. As I mature spiritually through the word, it also helps me to make better decisions in life. If we want to live godly we cannot skip over Bible study! Some women believe that women should not teach doctrine that isn't specifically about Biblical womanhood and homemaking. However, I disagree. Women are not to be preachers of the local assembly as that disrupts the order of the church, but women can teach other women sound grace doctrine as long as they are not neglecting their own family to do so. Having one-on-one Biblical studies with an older or at least more spiritually mature woman is deeply rewarding and you can ask things and discuss topics pertaining to women specifically as well. Also, some women can't ask their husbands their thoughts on certain scriptures because their husband isn't even a believer or might be a believer that isn't very mature in the word, so having an older and more spiritually mature godly woman to discuss scripture with is very helpful.
