- a local church and a certain Christian publishing house. (Sometimes the latter vocations can happen without the first.) Many people call him a nerd, which he prefers to geek. He\'s keen on biblical studies, languages, great technology, science fiction, coffee, photography, frisbee, family, jazz, and hats. You could call his tastes eclectic. ");'>Sam Freney

Thank you for a fresh look at a familiar verse.
Hear! Hear!
Jean says: “Young women are crying out for this kind of teaching.” And it is true. The cry might simply be from a deep desire for practical information about day-to-day living as a woman, but I also suggest that it comes from the heart of person of faith ... It seems from reading the passage that these things will be the fruit of a life lived in accord with sound doctrine (2:1).
On a personal note, without correct teaching and with very few older Christian women in my own life, it took me years (I confess) to really understand that this teaching to women isn’t simply ‘a nice way to live’ or godliness in and of itself, but that by living according to God’s ways we show Christ to the world. And probably much more than that ...
One question it should raise for Christian parents is: How is the education we are giving our daughters preparing them for this?
Thank you, Jean, for this piece.
