Question
I HAVE A QUIESTION?
I AM GOING TO START TAKING OVER THE YOUNG LADIES FREE AT LAST MEETINGS AT MY CHURCH AND THE GIRLS ARE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 13 AND 19.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT I CAN TALK TO THE GIRLS ABOUT, OR MAYBE SOME SCRIPTURES THAT COULD HELP TEENS BUILD A STRONGER RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST?
I CAN ALWAYS USE ALL THE HELP I CAN. AND I DEFINETLY WANT SOMETHING THAT WILL GRAB THERE ATTENTION TO WANT TO CONTINUE COMMING TO THE CLASS.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP.  

Answer
Dear Marie,

I can but give you the Scriptures to prayfully study, your success will be determined by the desire of the heart.

Titus 2:3-5  The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 THAT THEY MAY TEACH THE YOUNG WOMEN TO BE SOBER, TO LOVE THEIR HUSBANDS, TO LOVE THEIR CHILDREN, 5 TO BE DISCREET, CHASTE, KEEPERS AT HOME, GOOD, OBEDIENT TO THEIR OWN HUSBANDS, THAT THE WORD OF GOD BE NOT BLASPHEMED.

1 Timothy 2:9-15  In like manner also, that women ADORN THEMSELVES IN MODEST APPAREL, WITH SHAMEFACEDNESS AND SOBRIETY; NOT WITH BROIDED HAIR, OR GOLD, OR PEARLS, OR COSTLY ARRAY;  10  BUT (WHICH BECOMETH WOMEN PROFESSING GODLINESS) WITH GOOD WORKS.  11  LET THE WOMAN LEARN IN SILENCE WITH ALL SUBJECTION.  12  BUT I SUFFER NOT A WOMAN TO TEACH, NOR TO USURP AUTHORITY OVER THE MAN, BUT TO BE IN SILENCE.  13  For Adam was first formed, then Eve.  14  And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.  15  Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, IF THEY CONTINUE IN FAITH AND CHARITY AND HOLINESS WITH SOBRIETY.

1 Timothy 5:14  I will therefore that THE YOUNGER WOMEN MARRY, BEAR CHILDREN, GUIDE THE HOUSE, GIVE NONE OCCASION TO THE ADVERSARY TO SPEAK REPROACHFULLY.

Read this next verse in its context, I hope no wants to be these women.

2 Timothy 3:6  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive SILLY WOMEN LADEN WITH SINS, LED AWAY WITH DIVERS LUSTS,


I hope this helps.

Your Servant In Christ Jesus,
