Showing Piety First at Home<\/p>\n
"But if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety at home, and to requite their progenitors: for that is good and acceptable before God" (1Ti_5:4).<\/p>\n
We wish to use from this passage the expression: "Let them learn first to show piety at home." What is applicable to widows, is applicable to us.<\/p>\n
The most difficult place to manifest the Christian graces is in the home.<\/p>\n
"We have pleasant words for the stranger,<\/p>\n
Kind thoughts, for our sometimes guests,<\/p>\n
But oft for our own the bitter frown,<\/p>\n
Though we love our own the best."<\/p>\n
Christ said to the young man, from whom He had cast the demons: "Go to thine own home and show what great things the Lord hath done for thee."<\/p>\n
If some one should say: "I want to go far hence as a missionary," our first inquiry would be, "What are you doing at home?"<\/p>\n
If you want to know the real spiritual asset of any believer ask their home folks about it.<\/p>\n
Illustration: In visiting a certain home an old lady asked us to pray for her husband. After leaving the house we said to the woman’s pastor: "I cannot understand how a man could live with a woman like that, without becoming a Christian." He said in response: "My brother, you don’t know her, she is the crossest cross-patch in the community. She keeps her husband miserable with her irritableness."<\/p>\n
Let us learn to show piety at home.<\/p>\n
