SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 ~ A WALK THROUGH THE NEW TESTAMENT




SEPTEMBER 27 READING…1 TIMOTHY 5


The church should look different than the world. Problems start when the church starts conforming to the ways of the world…and soon there is no apparent difference between the two. How we treat one another in the church is crucial. It was Jesus who said that the world would know that we are His followers by our love for one another. This love is manifested not mere words, but in action. Paul tells us to treat the older men as a father, and younger men as a brother. We are to treat the older women as a mother, and younger women as a sister. We are treated widows with honor. First, their family should take care of them, and if they have no family then the church is to take care of them. We are also supposed to honor the Elders/Pastors of the church…especially those who lead well. The pastor is to be supported by the church, as he ministers to their lives. This allows for him to take care of his family, and to focus on the ministry. The church should not receive an accusation against the pastor except from two or three witnesses. The pastor is to remain pure, and lead as a servant leader. The pastor needs both patience and discerning when leading the people of God.


Please share your thoughts.
