Bible Question: My auntie is asking a favor which I think will do injustice to me if I give in. What do I prioritize? How does this verse apply to this situation? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Vivien, Perhaps you should seek the counsel of your pastor. If this situation is of a much "lesser" nature, then perhaps you should just tell your auntie the truth about how you feel. If she is your auntie, i.e., your aunt, then she most likely has your best interest in mind as well. But never, under any circumstances, should you be directed to give in to sin at any point. Blessings to you, Makarios |
