Titus 2:4
God is love, the greatest of all Christian virtues is love, and love energized by God lasts forever.
What can the most powerful aspect of a wife and mother's life on earth obeying God's calling to her life? God wants it to be her grace-energized love.

As we study Titus 2 this morning we are looking back into a world where so few had ever known or felt real, Biblical love. The culture of Rome was driven by mighty armies, over-powering architecture and engineering, and Emperors known for ...
