Bible Question: does it say anywhere in the bible that a wife is to wait on the husband to go or lead in going to church? |
Bible Answer: If you're unable to persuade your husband to go with you, I would urge you to commit yourself to your own personal relationship with God the Father, His Son and the church for which He died. Yes, it's ideal to be a christian with your spouse at your side but our Lord will judge us all by the words we say and the actions we take. So we must ultimately take responsibility for our own actions but keeping praying that our loved ones will take heed of our choices. Who knows, maybe your husband will think long and hard about the wonderful example you're setting for him and listen to his conscience. You're in good company. There's been millions of spouses before you who led their life-long partner to Christ after they gave their own life to Him. We'll all pray for you and wish God's blessings on you. Be strong for Him. |
