God’s high calling for grace-energized women is to love their husbands and children. To most of us, mature 21st century believers that may sound wonderful. To them, it must have sounded impossible.
The Cretans of Paul’s day lived in an ego-centered, selfish society that knew and cared little about forgiveness. Roman Society became so decadent that it saw forgiving people as weak and unforgiving ones as strong. Cretans celebrated vengeful gods and exalted as heroes those who took vengeance on others. The result was a society so much like America today, filled with bitterness, vengeance, anger, hate, and hostility.
More and more, we see people seeking vengeance either outside or inside the bounds of the law. During the week of June 24, 2007, a crowd in Austin, Texas, dragged a man from his car and beat him to death for a crime they mistakenly thought he had committed. This pervasive unwillingness to forgive in our society is also the leading cause of the breakups in family relationships.
