Bible Question (short): how do I get my parents back in church? |
Question (full): My dad is a Deacon in the Church and has been for over 20 years. A couple of years ago, though, he quit going to church and started going to bars with his new "biker" friends and drinking. This is something very heavy on my heart and is also hurtful. I pray for my parents to return to church every day and have been for years. I've talked to my mom and dad before about going back to church and he actually stopped talking to me for a while. My mother, on the other hand, has been dealing with a deep depression for years and doesn't like for me to talk about church. When I ask her if she will be going to a church service she always says, "I'll try to make it." Which is interpreted as, "No," everytime. My question is what more can I do, besides pray for them constantly, to try to get them back in church? |
