I saw an article the other day with the title: “Stop Calling The Church A Family“. The argument being made by the author was that the Bible doesn’t call the church a family, and using the term sets the bar too high for most congregations to achieve.
As someone who has been reading through the Bible every year since 2012 – the New Testament twice a year – as part of the RMM Bible Reading plan, my jaw hit the floor. The Bible doesn’t refer to the church as a family?
What about Mark 3:31-33?
