“THE YEARS OF WISDOM”
What does scripture tell us we should be like after we reach our golden years?
(Titus 2:1-3 KJV) “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; “
WHAT WOULD YOU TELL A YOUNGER WOMAN IN THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS?
My husband is upset with me, he tells me I am a slob and am a terrible housekeeper. I am always daydreaming about leaving him.
(Titus 2:4-5) “That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of god be not blasphemed.”

My children do not obey me when I tell them to do something. They upset me so, and I am always yelling at them. How can I stop what I am doing, I know it is hurtful to us?
(Prov 2:2-5 KJV) “So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.”
(Prov 31:26 KJV) “She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.”

I want to teach Sunday School but I do not know enough about the Bible.
(Prov 2:6-7 KJV) “For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.”

I often hear the phrase: What is being shown on TV portrays real life and everybody is doing it, so is it Ok? What guide should we use?
(1 Sam 15:22 KJV) “And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.”
*******
(Prov 9:10 KJV) “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.”
If so many things in our society are acceptable to most; How come it is not acceptable by Christians? What if any standard should we hold to?
(1 Sam 12:14-15 KJV) “If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God: But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.”

I feel useless and am so depressed. Sometimes I get so scared when the kids are off at school and worry about them? When I am afraid what should I do?
(Prov 2:10-17 KJV) “When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.”
