We’ve all heard the phrase; “Friends that become family.” It is really a beautiful sentiment. I have experienced this with people and am blessed because of it. Life is good when you have friends that feel like family. In the Christian life the phrase is often reversed; “Family that become friends.” Why? It is because the Bible teaches that when one becomes a Christian, they are called children of God. And as children of God, all Christians are therefore brothers and sisters. Family! Then when we meet one another in church (already family), we become friends. I love it.
This Sunday our study in I Timothy changes direction to discuss how family in the church ought to behave towards one another. Family rules. Family expectations. Let’s gather together to grow as a family through song, prayer, Word, and community!
“Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity.” - I Timothy 5:1-2
