Widows are to be
Honored
God has always, throughout time, been concerned about widows.
He is called a defender of widows in Psalms 68: 5. He relieves the
fatherless and widows in Psalm 146: 9. One aspect of pure and undefiled
religion is to visit widows in their trouble in James 1:27. One of the first
situations in the early church that the apostles had to deal with was
concerning the neglect of certain widows-Acts 6. Widows are a special class
of church members listed in 1 Timothy 5:12. Widows are a group that God is
very concerned about.
