Mentor Message #RTTBROS #nightlight "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 (KJV) In Titus 2, the apostle Paul provides guidance on mentoring relationships within the church. He emphasizes the importance of older, more experienced believers guiding and teaching younger members of the faith community. This passage highlights the vital role of mentorship in spiritual growth and the development of a strong, vibrant church. The verse quoted above specifically addresses older women, instructing them to be exemplars of holy behavior and to teach good things. This concept of mentoring extends beyond just women, as Paul also gives instructions for older men, younger women, and younger men throughout the chapter. Mentoring, as described in Titus 2, is not merely about imparting knowledge. It's about modeling a life of faith, demonstrating godly character, and guiding others in practical application of biblical principles. The mentor's life should reflect the teachings they share, as Paul states in verse 7: "In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works." This type of mentorship creates a cycle of growth and maturity within the church. As younger believers learn from their elders, they in turn become equipped to mentor others, ensuring the continuity of faith and practice across generations. Reflect on your own life: Are you currently in a mentoring relationship? If you're more experienced in your faith, are you actively seeking to guide and teach others? If you're younger in the faith, are you seeking wisdom from those who have walked the path before you? Remember, mentoring is not about perfection, but about progress. It's about humbly sharing our experiences, both successes and failures, to help others grow in their faith journey. As we engage in these mentoring relationships, we not only strengthen individual believers but also build up the entire body of Christ. Let us pray: Heavenly Father, thank You for the wisdom provided in Your Word about mentoring and discipleship. Help us to embrace these relationships, whether as mentors or mentees. Give us humility to learn from others and courage to share what we've learned. May our lives reflect Your teachings, that we might be effective mentors and faithful disciples. In Jesus' name, Amen. https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros
