Family Ways
Show family affection to one another with brotherly love. Outdo one another in showing honour.
Romans 12:9,10
I have a natural family of which I am the eldest of six. My mum is still alive at 80. At times I am constrained to spend time with mum, I sense she needs time and invariably she does. There are times when my siblings and I do not communicate much at all but when needed we are there.
In the body of Christ we are a family. There is church family and a wider body family. We will all sit down together in eternity. There are times when we will disagree and go our separate ways but our mouths should not like to pull down or gossip, this is devils work.
When we behave just as worldly folk they mock us and we are tools of the enemy to mock the Gospel.
Each of us has a place in Christ and each of us must honour the place of others, even if we would like that place ourselves.
I must be true to myself and not deceive myself into thinking arrogantly or with puffed up thoughts about my own place.
Jesus, our brother, showed us the way. He, Himself said: 'he who would be the greatest among you must be servant of all.'
We need to bath in the truth of the word and be cleansed from all our sinful attitudes. He is God, He is Lord! Amen!
