Titus 2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
For instance, if some young man in the church or at the job is harassing you, by trying to cozy up to you against your will and against your conscience, there are two ways to stand your ground by saying no. The first way is to say a gentle stop, even while you may be smiling and grinning from ear to ear. Guess what, he will never stop, for he will rightly conclude that if he were to push the envelope a little further, you might buckle under pressure.
In fact, the dude will most likely interpret that type of gentle, loving “stop” in that loving, sensual voice to be an actual invitation to continue his forays into your private space. And he absolutely will. This is the kind of gentle “Stop” Aaron had used with the multitude and they continued to push him over the brink. But if you were to say a very firm no, with your eyes bulging in anger, disgust, and righteous indignation, he will get the message loud and clear, and before long he will put his tail between his legs, and go his merry way.
[Testimonies Vol. 5 pp 595] Men who are doing God's work and who have Christ abiding in their hearts will not lower the standard of morality, but will ever seek to elevate it. They will not find pleasure in the flattery of women or in being petted by them. Let men, both single and married, say: “Hands off! I will never give the least occasion that my good should be evil spoken of. My good name is capital of far more value to me than gold or silver. Let me preserve it untarnished.
Titus 2:7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, 8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
