Sara...1 Peter 3:6

Peter writes, “Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord”

Sarah an older woman…and is proposed as an example, a template, a pattern, a mentor for the attitude and action Peter proposes for the winning of an unconverted husband.

One complaint from our older women is that the younger women ask them for counsel and then do the opposite of the advice given.

Choose right mentors, not Hollywood ‘babes’, nor Oprah nor The View!!!

You have worthy examples in your own congregation, even as Paul proposed: Titus 2:3-5

* The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; (Titus 2:3)
* That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, (Titus 2:4)
* To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. (Titus 2:5)
