Titus 2:3-5 NIV

³Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. ⁴Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, ⁵to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

In my mission to live intentionally in 2010, I deeply sense the Lord calling me to become a Titus 2 gal in action, as opposed to only in theory. But I know that in order to do so, I must investigate the Scriptures, evaluate my own beliefs, and seek the counsel of women who have been living the Titus 2 life.

It is no longer satisfactory to only hope to become what God wants of me. I need to invest the time learning what that means to live out the Word, and seek ways to put it into practice. Therefore, I am going to spend an entire year meditating on verses 3-5 in Titus 2, looking at a small portion each month and asking the Lord to open my eyes to see His truth as it is relevant to my life in 2010.

I pray you will join me in this open discussion and transparent time of reflection, that we would grow together in the Word as we become Titus 2 women.

The topic to be consider on the 2nd Tuesday of each month will be as follows:

1. Jan ~ Beliefs about Titus 2 in Today's Culture
2. Feb ~ What does it mean to be reverent?
3. Mar ~ What does it mean to be slanderers and addicted (to too much wine)?
4. Apr ~ How do we teach what is good?
5. May ~ How do we train the younger women? Who are the younger women?
   
6. Jun ~ How do we train the younger women to love their husbands?
7. Jul ~ How do we train the younger women to love their children?
8. Aug ~ How do we learn to be self-controlled and pure?
9. Sep ~ What does it mean to be busy at home?
10. Oct ~ What does it mean to be kind?
11. Nov ~ What does it mean to be subject to our husband?
12. Dec ~ How does becoming a Titus 2 woman cause the Word of God to not be maligned?

I will plan to post a reminder the week prior. I invite you to write a post sharing your thoughts and Biblical response, as will do the same. I'll host a McLinky for us to join together! Feel free to join in anytime!

May we grow together, intentionally this year!
