Church Family Matters

Why is the Church considered a body and not an organization? How is the structure and order of a Church family different from an organization? What does the word church mean? How is regeneration a manifestation of a sinner being ‘one called out’? What is the outline for caring for each type of member in the Church family – older people, men and women, widows and so on? What is the one common thread regarding sin among the member of the Church family? What is the temptation for Timothy as Pastor? Why is ‘preaching the Truth in Love’ the operative phrase the ‘perfecting of the saints’? Why is nothing good accomplished through ridicule and shaming in the Church family? How is Timothy instructed to ‘restore such a one’ in wisdom? Why was the care of widows such a sensitive issue in the Church? Why does a widow ‘indeed’ differ from a widow with family?
