“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.” Some aged women make it a policy to teach in both word and lifestyle. They do this out of concern for the younger generation, and in the process fulfill a Biblical mandate. Two ideas that may have been better observed when these older women grew up go too often ignored today. Wives who are keepers at home and obedient to their husbands are both hard to find, and increasingly disrespected in society. Still, the word of God has not changed with the feminist movement. Bible teachers who avoid the direct address of these concepts do their students great harm. Some perform textual acrobatics in an attempt to explain away God’s obvious meaning. The finest young, Christian women of our day are faithful to these commands, and some equally fine older women have been their example. Do not fear or avoid passages that conflict with worldly thought; “that the word of God be not blasphemed”.
