Paul presented this "older woman (teaching) younger woman" model as one of the greatest teaching opportunities mature Christian women can have in the church. They carefully share wisdom out of their years of experience, something even mature men have no capacity to do. Furthermore, these mature women can do what men should not do in a personal setting - to communicate with women regarding very intimate matters. It's obvious Timothy faced this challenge in Ephesus when Paul exhorted him - particularly as a young single man - to "treat…older women as mothers, and younger woman as sisters, with absolute purity" (1 Ti. 5:1-2).

A Message from our Provider:

“Everything else can wait but the search for God cannot wait.#George Harrison, 2001”

By definition, the living Word is dynamic, not static. Just as John described Jesus as a living…human organism whom people could touch and feel, the Word of life continues to be fully alive among us through the presence of the Holy Spirit. If we believe anything less, we make Jesus Christ an artifact of history and his Word a static truth of limited contemporary value. Neither is true. For those who believe, the living presence of Jesus Christ and the relevance of his Word is as real today as when he walked and talked on earth. Eternal, final, alive, and relevant – these adjectives describe the living Word.
