Our speaker during Family Bible Hour was Mr Bill Coyle.  Mr Coyle's message was based on Titus 2.  The believers of Crete, through their daily lives, reflected the image of God  to the unbelievers surrounding them.  Paul categorized the believers into five groups (underlined in the Bible passage below) and listed the qualities that would reflect well on God for each of these groups. Paul may have also answered possible family issues that were asked of him.

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:  That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.  The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;  That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love  their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.   Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.  In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.  Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 
~ Titus 2: 1-10
The full message, in context, is available on DVD.
Please see Romy.
