I have recently been reading posts and stories of Elisabeth Elliot a wonderful woman of God who lived what she believed.
Elisabeth died at the age of 88 in 2015 and she left a legacy of writings for today's Christian woman to emulate. She was a true Titus 2 woman, teaching the younger women by her godly example.
I particularly love these two videos on YouTube that I will share for your perusal and pleasure. The titles are A Peaceful Home parts 1 and 2.
There are many wonderful videos and indeed, many books that Elisabeth has produced that are great for growing in biblical womanhood.
In this depressed climate, it is good to fix one's eyes on godly and Christian teachings, and focus on positive teachings. Unlike Debi Pearl, I find Elisabeth Elliott was scripturally sound, compassionate with women and a woman who exuded Christ in her life and teaching.
This is so critical in mentoring or ministering to women who are seeking to be Christ like in their dealings with others. We are to be encouragers and sharers of biblical principles for women.
Along with many others, we older women are to be gentle and wise as we minister to younger women and we are like Elisabeth, to be a teacher of good things.

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.”
Glenys, my mom (1926-2012) and Elisabeth were penpals - EE's address was in my mom's book - I noticed it as we went through her things. I have such high regard for Elisabeth.
ReplyDeleteThat would have been such a great friendship... Your mother would have been blessed and probably was a woman who also left a wonderful legacy of faith. Thanks for sharing tea with me today, Susan! Blessings, Glenys
