3. Christian Community life
In the world, family life is becoming less and less stable, with so many divorces, broken homes, and children without fathers or mothers. Home is often not the safe refuge it was designed to be. The Bible's solution is that we should see ourselves as belonging to a 'Spiritual family' or Christian Community, often called 'Church'. God Himself is our caring heavenly Father, and other Christians are now our 'brothers / sisters'. We no longer ever have to feel alone!
