Titus 2:1-4
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
The calling of a parent is one that comes with difficulties. There will be times of heartache as well as times of great joy. One of the things we as parents desire more than others is that our children behave and do the right things. As Christian parents we desire righteous and holiness in their lives and actions.
So how do we teach them these things? We first must learn from above. If we are not willing to learn from God above we will never learn the true way to act. In Vietnam, a man said this statement. "You learn your job from the men above you, and teach your job to the men below you". - Hal Moore.
So if we are to be great teachers, we must be great students. Lord help us to follow, who art above us, and teach others about you, who are below with us.
