Subject: How do I honor God and my parents? |
Bible Note: Thanks for your response, Sweetest Mami. OK, you're 18 now, and you have honest convictions concerning your faith which are in conflict with your parents' convictions, right? So let's go back to square one, my first suggestion. Have that honest, forthright heart-to-heart talk with your parents. Let them know that you still love and honor them and are not trying to be openly rebellious or belligerent with them, but that you have, and have every right to have, your own convictions concerning your own personal faith and so, for that matter, do your parents. There is no problem that cannot be resolved with the help of Almighty God. And, of utmost importance, pray and keep on praying for guidance and wisdom to help you deal with the situation. You and your parents will be in my prayers and I wish you every success in resolving this difficulty. --Hank |
