Bible Question:
My son is a new on fire for Jesus Christian. He is so concerned for his wife, she says shes a Christian, even teaches a bible study but still smokes, cusses and watchs ungodly TV shows. How should he minister to her? She is very defensive about this. Thank you. |
Bible Answer: Your idea of a strong christian seems to be based on superficiality. While smoking is a bad habit and unhealthy it is no different from a person who drinks coffee everyday. Do you drink coffee everyday? Did you know that C.S. Lewis smoked a pipe? Do you know how much God used Lewis to advance the kingdom? Was his walk a bad one? I think you and your son should not be so concerned about such "appearance" based things and look into your own hearts. Self righteousness, pride and judgmentalness are real sins and certainly more harmful than watching t.v, cursing and smoking. Are you really concerned for her spiritual welfare or more concerned of how she appears to others or how she may badly reflect on you and your son? Be honest with yourself. |
