When you're trapped in addiction, it doesn't just affect you. Here's Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth.

If I am not self-controlled in some major area of my life that becomes disqualifying,

not only does that impact my relationship with the Lord, but how many other women could be impacted?

You say, well, I don't have a radio program, a podcast, I don't write books, but if you're an older woman, there are younger women watching you. Women you don't even know

who are looking to you for hope and for an example and for courage and for the belief that God

really can help them in this area.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Adorned, for Tuesday, February 21st, 2017.

Well, we're continuing in our series in Titus chapter 2, focusing on verses 3 through 5,

and we're just taking one word at a time, one phrase at a time,

unpacking this and asking God to penetrate and pierce and change our hearts as we dig into this passage.

And I hope that through this series that you're reading the book of Titus,

you're meditating on it, perhaps memorizing these verses.

I hope you'll have at least these three verses memorized by the time we finish this series.

So again, we pick up in Titus chapter 2.

Verse one tells us, teach what accords with sound doctrine. And we've been saying that sound doctrine, healthy, wholesome, biblical doctrine,

has implications for everyday life. It has implications for men, for women, for older, for younger. And Paul is going on

to say in chapter 2, here's what that looks like. If you have sound doctrine at the foundation of

your life, as you live it out, depending on your season of life, you're even gender specific,

here's what that looks like. So we talked about it in verse two, older men. Here's what

sound doctrine looks like when it's lived out in the lives of older men. And then we've come to

verse three where it says older women are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves

to much wine. Or as one translation says, not addicted to much wine.
