ALL ARE IN THE FAMILY

Church members are an extension of our family.

I Timothy 5:1-3

Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

Honour widows that are widows indeed.

***God is the Father of the living and the dead, and because of this we are to treat younger women in church as our sisters, and the younger men as our brothers . The older men and women in our church should be treated with the same respect and dignity as our biological parents.

Widows should be taken care of by their children, grandchildren or nephews because of the care and nurture they have given them.


I Timothy 5:17,19

Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witness.


 ***A pastor should be compensated for the work that he does in church: preaching and teaching the word of God, Pastoral care.

I f a pastor is accused of wrong doing there must be two or more witnesses to confirm this.


God wants everything in his church to be done decently and in order. To do this we must learn his ways by
seeking ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto us,
according to the bible.


Lets continue to seek God for the concerns we have in his church - until we meet again soon.
