Family means a lot of different things to different people.  Yet the Bible makes it clear what family should mean to us.  It means that we love and support one another in the best of times and in the worst of times.  It means that we love one another despite our own faults and failures.  As a family we don't abandon our brothers and sisters but rather we pursue and restore them if at all possbile.
