Godly Advice

Titus 2:3-6

3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

Where do you get your advice? Talk show host, parents, or maybe your closest friends. I think in this social media, high tech age many millennials get their information from Facebook or Google. It's simple just Google it! A world of information at your fingertips. But is it good information, trustworthy, by the way who is on the other end of Google, is it a thirteen year old in the 7th grade, who really knows?

I do know this, God's word tells us to turn to the older generation for advice, the seniors who have already lived life. They have enough experience to know what works and doesn't work, and all we have to do is ask and listen. It's the responsibility of the prior generation to teach the next generation how to live a life that pleases God. The next time you need advice you might be surprised at the wisdom you receive from a seasoned Saint.
