Bible Question:
Hi,I am new here. Its nice meeting you. Just want to know if the Bible says anything about being a christian when your parents doesn't really want you to be because they have seen so many hypocrisy and selfish behaviour in church??? thank you for your reply! |
Bible Answer: Greetings Lulu and welcome, I like what mommapsbs said but I just wanted to add that the best thing that you can do for your parents is to be Christ-like. What your parents have seen in the church is unfortunetly very prevalent in today's churches. The behavior though needless to say is not that which Christ seeks. Show your parents what true Christianity is about - loving one another and serving Him humbly but joyfully. prayon |
