Family Focus

 (ID: 1603)

The role of the family in displaying the Gospel is crucial. Paul therefore called Titus to live an exemplary life and pass his integrity on to his congregation. The mark of a godly young man, teaches Alistair Begg, is self-control, a seemingly simple demand that touches every part of life. Meanwhile, young women, shaped and influenced by older generations, can display Christ by their love and service. Christian families have powerful potential to display Christ’s character to a watching world.


4and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5to be self-controlled, tpure, uworking at home, kind, and vsubmissive to their own husbands, wthat the word of God may not be reviled. 6Likewise, urge xthe younger men to be self-controlled. 7Show yourself in all respects to be ya model of good works, and in your teaching zshow integrity, adignity, 8and bsound speech that cannot be condemned, cso that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.
