I’ve recently returned from leading another Titus 2 Retreat. As always, the women are free to make comments on an evaluation sheet after the last session. Here’s one that I received:
“You helped me think of abortion in a different way when you said it is a symptom of what is wrong. While abortion is wrong, we need to protect our girls so it does not get to that point. I thought that was enlightening.”
Enlightening?
Could it be that this faithful Lutheran woman had never thought about the behaviors that must first be chosen before a girl finds herself in a place where she even considers an abortion? Did her church never explain this? Did her church call abortion “wrong” and warn “don’t do it,” but fail to dig to the root of abortion and why too many people cling to it as some sort of “salvation?” Was she perhaps in agreement that children should be “more comfortable with their sexuality,” but then surprised when as many Christian as non-Christian girls seek abortions?
It seems so. And, for that reason, Titus 2 will continue — for life. It is in the best interests of boys and girls to be mentored in Biblical manhood and womanhood — before they learn about the procreative act of sex. Their lives — and those of the preborn — are worth it.
