Bible Question: In the last times children will raise up against parents(Matt 10:21); I have come to a stalemate with my children in regard to mistakes I've made over the last 30 years. I have never faced this before and bottom line, I think this is instigated by satan; my children think this is a "copout"; they(and I) are all Christians, but something really strange and terrible is going on - I need verses before I proceed (need to keep my little "fix-it" hands off and let God work) thanks for any verses!!! In His Name |
Bible Answer: Hi Barbee, I don’t know the specifics of your situation. But if you’d like to make peace with your children, here’s what you should do. Admit you were wrong, and ask for your children’s forgiveness. If I were you, I would leave Satan out of it (Though he is very much at the center of it). It may not be a copout, but I can see how your children may see it that way (After all, aren’t ALL problems caused, to one degree or another, by Satan and sin?). I’d worry about YOUR part in the problem (and let God worry about Satan’s). Hopefully I haven’t horribly misunderstood you. :-) Matthew 5:9 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” With Christian Love, Ocelot |
