I believe the best illustration of this is found in Titus 2:3-5.
There are a couple of things I noticed in these verse. The first is that both older and younger women are in need of training and learning. When I say older or younger, I do not mean the color of your hair or the amount of wrinkles on your face. In this context, it means spiritually older or younger, or the ones who are already exhibiting these attributes. These are the ones not gossipping about her neighbor, not conducting themselves like the world, but loving their husbands and children , self- controlled, not lazy, etc.If the Holy Spirit, is not already there doing His rejuvenating work in us, the world will see nothing different about us. There is nothing to attract them. The church, which by the way is the people of God, not the building you meet in, must be made blameless. It starts with us. Revival starts in the head and then travels to the heart. The main way we get there is through " sharpening" each other through fellowship.
A wife. a mother. A pastor's wife. Above all, a Christ follower.
