1 Timothy 5:9-10

The first of Paul’s three “pastoral epistles,” 1 Timothy focuses on the church as a “pillar and buttress of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15). In the letter, Paul commands Timothy to “guard the deposit” (1 Timothy 6:20) by combatting false teachers, protecting the flock of Christ, and structuring the church well. 1 Timothy shows us the incredible privilege of being in God’s church and the high calling of leading it.

This 7-day devotional is for anyone who has struggled with wayward family members. Do you walk a tightrope between living your life faithfully and coping with difficult family members in a way that is pleasing to God? Every family has a struggle or two with hurt and dysfunction. May this plan help to guide you as you strive to relate to misguided family members.

Without the Gospel, we are all fatherless, widowed, orphaned, and oppressed. This study helps us acknowledge who we are without God and respond in thankfulness to him for his grace in saving us.
