Good Afternoon, sorry this is being posted late today, I have been sick. Prayerfully I can get this done without having any interruptions.
This little intro will take us into Part 2 of the lessons. Then on tomorrow we will start lesson 15 on Being the Help Meet you were meant to be. Part 2 will be taken from Titus 2
Titus 2:3-5 says, "The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed"
Do you know the 8 things God requires of a woman? I will honest with you I didn't know all 8 as far when I first started reading Mrs Debi Pearls book. So as we start into part 2 of these lessons we will learn together the 8 things we as women are suppose to do. Did you realize that if we don't obey these 8 things we will be guilty of blaspheming God words?! WOW!!!
In Mrs Pearls book she calls them the 8 practical game rules. In Mark 3:29 we are told, "But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation." WOW!!
I do believe I want to make sure I never blaspheme the Holy Spirit or God's Word. The word alone sounds pretty bad.
Lets look at the verses in Titus 2:3-5 in these verse it gives us the 8 things and they are:
"...[1] to be sober [2] to love their husbands [3] to love their children [4] to be discreet, [5] chaste, [6] keepers at home [7] good, [8] obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed"
*the passage says there are-not of blaspheming the Holy Ghost, which is the unpardonable sin-rather, of blaspheming the word of God. Even though it is not the unpardonable sin, it sure is a scary thing for Paul to say about young wives.
As I look over these 8 things I wonder: "Why are these 8 things so critical?" "Why is it that a young wife who may refuse to do them would be considered blaspheming?"
As we start tomorrow on this part of the lessons we will learn the why each part is so critical and why we as wives MUST do each of these 8 things.
