5th Commandment (Part 2)

Ten CommandmentsSteve Gregg
Honoring one's physical and spiritual fathers is an important commandment, according to Steve Gregg. Beyond just respecting family members, it also includes having reverence for the church and for God. While there may be faults within the church, it is still God's house and a vital part of the spiritual family. Honoring our spiritual father involves standing up for the church publicly and recognizing its importance in our lives.
