"Honor Your Father and Mother"	February 1st, 2004

Exodus 20:12

12. Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

1 Timothy 5:1-5

1. Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers,
2. older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.
3. Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need.
4. But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God.
5. The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help.
