Subject: How do I honor God and my parents? |
Bible Note: Well, Searcher. My dad is hostile to every other type of religion. And to him, most churches that are seeking more relationship with God (not through a ritualistic worship) are cults, so that is where the problems arise. I know that I am only 19 and don't have as much wisdom as someone who has been walking with the Lord and living longer than I have. My parents would rather have me give them lip service and lie than to attend the church(es) that I attend. If I were to go to church with them here, they would not be satisfied until I became Catholic again. I will now, and am not going to bind myself to that kind of tradition again. I know that trials come in my Christian journey and if my dad has to be the thorn in my side, His grace is still suffecient. Thank you. |
