—Deuteronomy 25:5-10
by: Kennedy Ochs.
We have a duty to care for our family—not in the same way an Israelite man was expected to care for his deceased brother’s wife, but definitely making sure their needs are met. Those who are without support are our responsibility to care for. Not only that, but we have a duty to keep those among us accountable for the duties they must fulfil as well. If someone we know is not caring for those we are responsible for, we must step in. And in turn, if we are not caring for our family properly, hopefully our friends and authority figures will step in and guide us to do what is right. This is what it means to be a family in Christ.
