Essentials For Godliness

Relationships within the church as the family of God will be diverse as are the people who God has individually saved. Men and women of varying ages, married and unmarried, from different backgrounds are called out and brought together by God in their common belief in Jesus Christ and having been born again by the Spirit of God. That being the case the reminder is necessary for their to be love, respect, and consideration shown by one and all to one and all. Special attention is drawn to the responsibility God gives to the church in caring for widows. The special needs of those in this biblically defined group are not to be a burden but a means of showing them honor and love, especially in the area of material needs they may have. Those widows without the care and support of a physical family receive special care. Godliness must be practiced at home and in the church among immediate family members which gives children the responsibility to care for the physical needs of their parents when the situation at hand.
