- Some of you are aware of this, but Tom and I have, on occasion, stirred controversy. I know, hard to believe.
- 00:11
- Specifically, when we've made public comments about what women, especially young women, should or should not wear.
- 00:18
- Now, I'm going to be honest with you. I don't think a pastor is the best person to be talking about what a woman should wear.
- 00:25
- Older ladies, that should come from you to these young women. Take some heat off your pastors.
- 00:33
- And again, young ladies, you need to be willing to receive that counsel. And I know there are godly women in here who know this.
- 00:44
- Verse 5 says, be pure. And then look at verse 10, adorn the doctrine of God. 1
- 00:50
- Timothy 2 .10 says, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, with modesty and self -restraint, by means of good works, as is proper for women professing godliness.
- 01:07
- Young women, good works for you looks like this, what we're reading about in Titus 2.
- 01:14
- Be self -controlled, be kind, be holy. That's that called a purity.
- 01:21
- For those of you who are married, submit to your husband, love your children, work at home.
- 01:27
- And once again, the close of verse 5, so that the word of God will not be slandered.
- 01:34
- So that you become a testament to others of the gospel of Christ in your life, especially to your husband and to your children.
- 01:44
- Kent Hughes says the following, as opponents in the church and potential faith seekers in the culture, examine what accords with sound doctrine, verse 1, through the behavior of the young women in the church.
- 01:59
- The word of God gains credibility. The wonderful message implicit here is that what happens in the home as a result of a woman's care is a powerful tool for the progress of the gospel.
