James 1:27
Mother’s Day Sunday; 110 years old
And now worldwide. Started by a Christian
named Anna Jarvis in her CHURCH.
Times have changed. Churches have changed.
Motherhood has changed in the U.S.
The Bible is clear that parenting can
and should be the work of the church
of Jesus Christ. . .James 1:27.
See other versions:
Including the Amplified Bible:
Pure and unblemished religion
[as it is expressed in outward acts]
in the sight of our God and Father
is this: to visit and look after the
fatherless and the widows in their distress.
The Bible also claims the Heavenly Father
over and over as father to the fatherless and
protector of orphans. (Deuteronomy 10:18,
Deuteronomy 24:19, Deuteronomy 27:19,
Psalm 10:14, Psalm 68;5, Isaiah 1:17 and
More.)
So the church is IMITATING the heavenly
Father when the church parents children
—particularly children who have no parents.
The churches of Jesus Christ has a long tradition
of building orphanages and hospitals for
abandoned children.
Even the leaders of the church are to be
found among the believers who know
HOW TO BE GOOD PARENTS:
(Titus 1:6)
GOOD PARENTING is supposed to
be MODELED by the church for the
church, for the community, and
especially FOR the CHILDREN
—ALL children.
There are testimonies for the churches.
Even Jesus: John 14:18
Amen.
