Day 5: Spiritual Parents and Children

Reading: 1 Corinthians 4:14-21; Titus 2:1-8

As you go about your day, take time to meditate on today’s devotional. Let God’s truth shape your thoughts, words, and actions.

Devotional:

Healthy spiritual life requires both parents and children. Do you have someone you imitate, respect, and receive discipline from? Do you have someone you're pouring into with love, a good example, and accountability? The modern church suffers because too many believers lack these vital relationships. Paul loved the Corinthians enough to warn them, even discipline them. He lived a life worthy of imitation. Timothy respected Paul enough to carry his message faithfully. This is God's design for spiritual multiplication. "Do as I say, not as I do" is hypocrisy. Today, identify your spiritual parent—or become one. Pursue deep, life-on-life discipleship. It's challenging, uncomfortable, but absolutely necessary for biblical unity and growth.
