Titus 2 Woman: Setting the Stage

Tweet

Before we embark on this journey towards becoming Titus 2 women, I want to set the stage a bit so that each post will be very easy to follow. I will attempt to keep the format as consistent as possible. Each one will open with the scripture, & I will bold the words that reference the particular concept being discussed in the current post. I am using the Complete Jewish Bible translation unless otherwise noted.  When referencing scripture that corroborates with the topic at hand, I will almost always write out the entire scripture for 2 reasons: 1. If I don't most people will not look them up. 2. There are readers who may not have access to the Word. I also ask you to bear with me as I endeavor to fully cover each concept within the confines of one post per topic...history has shown that readers do not read continuations, so I want to wholly cover each topic at hand in one post. Finally, at the end of each post I will provide links (in a bulleted list) to all previous ones corresponding with the Titus 2 series just in case you've missed one. As always I want to convey that I speak not out condemnation or judgment but of from a place of conviction & transformation. I am a work in progress...I am no where near being the woman God wants me to be...this is all about the journey & the molding that takes place along the way. 

In the coming weeks (perhaps even months) we will be dissecting this passage that so fully encompasses God's vision & expectation for women. I have 4 main goals in the pursuit of understanding Titus 2:3-5:

1. To fully grasp Abba's definition of biblical womanhood

2. To become that woman myself

3. To establish this vision for the upcoming generations of women that they might know the alternative to the world's perspective of what a woman ought to be.

4. To ensure that we live in such a way as to not bring discredit to The Lord.

I am beginning work on the first post in the series, but until then I invite you to read and meditate on Titus 2:3-5

"Likewise, tell the older women to behave the way people living a holy life should. They shouldn't be slanderers or slaves to excessive drinking. They should teach what is good, thus training the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to take good care of their homes and to submit to their husbands. In this way, God's message will not be brought into disgrace."

-Titus 2:3-5
