What To Teach At Church

Titus 2:1-3
"But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience, the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things"

This is what is to be taught at church-

Sound=healthy and doctrine= what you believe . So Paul is saying that the elders are to teach things that will help people to be healthy spiritually. The older men are to be serious, respect the things of God, self-controlled, have a healthy faith, and be VERY patient and loving with the young people!!!

The older women (Beth elbows me hard when Dad mentions them! that teaser- well I guess I am getting old) are to be reverent and not tell lies or gossip about people. They are to be teachers to the younger women of good things.

The other day when Beth was saying that she wanted to make a marble cake for our party, she mentioned that we would have to find some marbles to put in it. Upon further investigation, it turned out that Anne had convinced her in days gone by that "marble" cake was named for it's real marbles and she had believed this ever since!
