1 | My parents don't act christian help | 1 Tim 6:2 | Makarios | 21405 | ||
Hello illdie4jesus25! You have asked a good question, although you have described what can be called a "most delicate situation." When I was 15 years old, I endured the pain of seeing my parents go through a divorce. The ironic part of it was is that my father was a pastor of a church! The best solution that I have found for such a situation is to "be there" for your parents and be supportive in a Christlike way for your family. In a situation were two people are acting very "un-Christian", you can provide an example of leadership to them by being a servant to them and helping to care for their needs. Believe me, I know that this task is a lot to ask from a 15 year old in such a situation, but Christ will shine through you and your light of peace will be noticed! Keep in prayer always, and ask the Lord for guidance in this matter. Perhaps you should seek the help of your pastor, if your pastor is not one of your parents. :-) Blessings and peace to your family! Nolan |

As Nolan has pointed out, domestic problems of these kinds are often delicate ones, and the solution is neither always simple nor particularly easy, and it may take time and patience to hang on until a genuine solution can be found. For the 15-year old, I'd suggest two things. If he is a Christian, pray about it and ask God's help. And, secondly, try to keep the line of communications open with the parents. Frank and open discussion among family members is much to be preferred to keeping the problems bottled up inside. It is usual for the parent to guide the child, but perhaps this situation affords some opportunity, and perhaps need, for the child to guide the parent. When our three children were growing up, my wife and I encouraged honest discussion and feed-back, but not rebellious talk-back, in our family relationships. And I must add that this enabled us as parents to learn a great deal from, and about, our children. Blessings to you. --Hank | ||||||
