1Timothy 3:14-16 HOUSE OF GOD. The truths Paul gave as instructions to Timothy, were intended to be passed on to us. These principles and practices are not out of date today but clearly give us what God has in mind in relation to assembly leadership. This idea is that of a household. We are to treat members as family. In the first part of the chapter he addressed the role of the overseers and then secondly, the deacons. Now he addresses the believers as a whole. Behavior in the house of God is very important. The apostle wanted to be there himself to address these matters but there were extenuating circumstances that intervened to make this impossible. Timothy was responsible to bring these things to the attention of the assembly at Ephesus, both in his teaching and in his personal conduct.
