Alistair Begg was working through Titus and in one sermon addressed the different groups in the church. He explained how young women were supposed to be learning from the older women. He compared it to having a personal trainer, an interesting way of relating Biblical teaching to modern culture.
Think of all the areas in our culture where the idea of a “personal trainer” is not only accepted but expected. Does the word “guru” sound familiar. How about “sensei”? Are you familiar with apprenticeships and OJT? The traditional method of entering the teaching profession involves not only a lot of classes but a period of being a student teacher.
Yet when it comes to the church and the Christian faith we too often reject the idea. People don’t want to be told what to do in the important areas, the ones involving eternity. They reject correction, reproof and rebuke. It is a sad state of affairs.
