It's rare sometimes to find people who will teach the gospel of grace and works flowing out of this, rather than 10 steps to being the perfect Christian wife or mother. I find myself having to steer away from some Christian blogs because, although they offer some great ideas, I come away feeling guilt-ridden. Ironically, we often teach others the things that we burden ourselves with.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193896306650823769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276278342039529509.post-81121851560063803292010-06-01T21:33:20.289+10:002010-06-01T21:33:20.289+10:00Jean -- totally agree!

We recently had a women's conference with Elyse Fitzpatrick where all she did was share the gospel of grace and share examples of how to apply it in our daily lives as women. So many women were refreshed! And this in a church where we regularly hear the gospel preached. Our "list" was basically to believe in and rest in the truths of the gospel and if we had a hard time believing to ask for faith.<br /><br />Contrast this with a meeting I had the other night where we are going through an excellent book on womanhood. One of the women, a pastor's wife, told me her husband had told her not to read anymore of the book because she found herself crying about the ways she fell short. That can easily be me unless I saturate my reading with my knowledge and understanding of justification and the free gift of grace.<br /><br />Anyway, I like the way you pointed to the three different places that Paul reminds Titus of the gospel motivation and the passage on older women teaching younger women is set right in the midst of those!Valorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11841538621971500717noreply@blogger.com
