Keepers At Home

Adorned Series #10. You can listen to this post here on Refresh Her podcast.

Isn’t it a comfort to know that God cares about what happens in our houses? He created the family, and He has a plan for how we care for this ministry! Listen to what He specifically says about the home in the Titus 2 passage…

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,⁵To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home,

I love how the KJV translates it; as “keepers at home.” This is a woman who is devoted to her home, who has a heart for it. She’s actively engaged and makes it a high priority in her life.

But all too often, home is a place where we come in to get ready to go out to the next event.

Continuation of the book, Adorned, Lesson #6. You can listen to this post (that has even more) here Refresh Her podcast.

What would you say is the easiest way to determine a person’s character?

Listen to them talk.

Our Savior said that what is in our heart will come out of our mouth.

As we continue through Titus 2, we read, The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers .

Adorned Study #5 – You can listen to this post here on Refresh Her podcast.

If you know a woman who
~is godly in her conduct,
~wears clothes that are tasteful and appropriate,
~uses speech that is gracious,
~and shows that she loves the Lord by the way she speaks and acts,
then you know a woman who is reverent in her behavior.

If you go out shopping, walk the streets in a city, or go to a public event, you are likely not going to see these kind of actions present in excess, or even being applauded. But that’s to be expected in the world, right? Why? Because sinners sin.

Spiritual Hoarders

This is Lesson 4 in Adorned study. You can listen to this post on Refresh Her Podcast.

If you’ve ever watched one of those television reality shows about hoarders, you will remember seeing pictures of homes overflowing with stuff.

I want you to consider whether or not you’re a hoarder. Don’t look in your house…look in your mind and your heart. I’m referencing being a hoarder of all the biblical knowledge that you have acquired over the time of your walk with God.

If you’ve been saved for more than a couple of years, consider how many
sermons you’ve heard,
how may biblical podcasts you’ve listened to,
how many revival meetings
or conferences you’ve attended and
how many Bible studies you’ve completed.

Is your heart full of wonderful truth? I can say, “Yes!” What a blessing has been given to so many of us. But what are we doing with that knowledge? Are we, like the hoarders in those reality shows, stuffing it away, piling it up higher and higher, or are we taking what we have and spreading that wealth with others?

Your Modeling Career

(This is Lesson 4 in the Adorned Study) You can listen to this post here on the Refresh Her podcast.

Being only 4’9″ I never had any aspirations that I would ever be a model, but now that I’m an older woman, I’ve learned that a modeling career is indeed a part of my life! Unlike those who walk the runways, my modeling has absolutely nothing to do with physical beauty. Sound impossible? That’s what our God is all about – doing the impossible!
