Everybody wants to be Titus 2:4, but nobody wants to be 1 Peter 5:5
I dare say most of us are familiar with the Titus 2 passage about how the aged women are to be the example and teacher of younger women. And it is a privilege to be in the position to be that example. But in order to be a teacher of good things, you must also …
A cautionary message about a calloused heart
