Bible Note: Truth Fighter...Your question,'How do I restore peace in my family' may be found in a few questions. Are you a member of your father's church? Did you take a stand against him thus challenging his authority? You may want to repent for this action and confess that the manner in which you handled this disagreement was incorrect. First, pray and ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and favor with your father. Then purhaps you should tell your father from the heart that you want the family to return to being peaceful and until the Holy Spirit shows you otherwise you would rather keep this subject "off limits". If you are a member, and strongly disagree, (as it appears you do) you should take the matter of where you should hold membership before the Holy Spirit. To strongly disagree with a church order that strongly believes, will always cause a problem. We should not hold membership with a church body we strongly disagree with on issues of importance to that body. You will not be 'in agreement' with them. Your father may agree to disagree as long as you agree to no longer discuss it with family and members. Let them search out the scriptures for themselves and be fully persuaded in their own hearts, and if they ask, suggest they do just that. I hope this helps, God bless |
