Pause for thought
How we relate to other Christians matters, our behaviour is a witness both within and without the local church family. Paul also stresses that if we have relatives who are in need our first responsibility is to help them, it is not the responsibility of the church. A person who meets the needs of their own family is pleasing to God 5:4.
Seeking to lead your husband, wife, or children to Christ? Then Love and care with prayer accomplishes much, let your life do the preaching!
Let’s never be hasty about choosing leaders, often a good test is delay “time will tell” 5:22, 3:1-7
Everyone’s character especially those of church leaders will be revealed sooner or later by their fruit. Jesus said a healthy tree produces good fruit, and an unhealthy tree produces bad fruit Mathew 7:15-20
A verse to ponder
In the same way, everyone knows how much good some people do, but there are others whose good deeds won’t be known until later.
