Here's Nancy DeMoss-Swaglmuth.

When we Christians claim to follow Christ and to believe a Bible, but we don't live out the

implications of God's word, then we cause the word of God to be dishonor.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss-Swaglmood, author of Adorned, for Thursday, April 6th, 2017.

For several weeks, Nancy has helped us mine for treasures in Titus 2, 1 through 5.

It's full of practical wisdom for women.

In fact, it's amazing that this rich study all comes from five verses.

Did you know that people you interact with every day can tell whether you allow scripture like this to

influence your daily decisions? Here's Nancy to explain.

I received an email from one of our listeners. Let me share it with you. This woman said,

I am very undisciplined. My children are too. She said, I know what to do, but I don't do it.

Homemaking and child rearing were so degraded in my

younger years that I spent much time trying to get away from them. There is a dread of being

trapped or stuck. Actually, God has been showing me that it is an authority problem. I do not want to

be under the control of anything. And then you see the implications and the ramifications of this life.

She said, I have not prayed for the salvation of my husband because then he would pay more

attention to my failing behavior and in love would want me to improve. I could not hide my lack of

obedience to God while at home if my husband was a Christian.

I'm just good enough to look good to the world.

And I found myself wondering how many women is that true of.

Look good to the world, but in the family, in the home is the real picture.

I can get up and put forth the effort for others, but not for my family.
