Bible Question:
Hello everyone. Everytime my husband listens to a sermon, goes to church, or we try to have a bible study, he starts falling asleep. Aside from it being the most annoying thing, I really want to help him because he's missing out on so much. What's weird is that he will do all sorts of other things and be totally fine, but as soon as we start talking about God, Boom! He's tired, he's sleeping, and dosing. What can I do? He thinks it's the devil trying to hinder his relationship with God. Should he even go to church if he's going to fall asleep? I'm praying for some help, thanks guys! |
Bible Answer: Dear Samantha, It isn't the devil... its the flesh. There are three enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil. Study them so as to distinguish one from the other. It gets pretty silly when we think it is one and its really another. Get the book, "The Enemy Within" ("Straight Talk About the Power and Defeat of Sin") by Kris Lundgaard. It is a very short book. It is very easy to read... also it is very hard to read... your flesh might make you fall asleep too when you read it! In Him, Doc PS Have your husband get to bed early on Saturday night. |
