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: Scripture ... 1 Cor 7:10-16 .................... 38Lulu, greetings and welcome to the SBF, There is "hypocrisy and selfish behaviour in church" and it is sad ... because those outside use it as an excuse and those inside don't want to adjust. If they did more may come to church, to hear the sermon preach that they see. While it ususally is one parent that may be the cause that leads someone to the Lord, I think children can, too. Your parents know how you were ... and now they should see a change in you - live a life that makes their mouth water, or wonder about the fire within you. Searcher |
