Men and Women in the Household of God

Our passage this morning is built on a premise that has been universally accepted by every generation up to our day, but which has recently been dismissed as barbaric and out of touch.  Our passage this morning is built upon the premise that men and women are equal but different.  In this text, Paul instructs Timothy to pass along one set of instructions for the men in Ephesus and another set of instructions for the women in Ephesus because Paul understands that men and women face different temptations and, therefore, need different encouragements. 1 Timothy 2:8-10
