Bible Question: In the last times children will raise up against parents(Matt 10:21); I have come to a stalemate with my children in regard to mistakes I've made over the last 30 years. I have never faced this before and bottom line, I think this is instigated by satan; my children think this is a "copout"; they(and I) are all Christians, but something really strange and terrible is going on - I need verses before I proceed (need to keep my little "fix-it" hands off and let God work) thanks for any verses!!! In His Name |
Bible Answer: barbee, Welcome to the forum. I am very relatable to your dilema. I'm a single father of two adult children.21 and 23. God only knows the mistakes and disasters that have resulted from my sin.I will tell you this,we cant always be pointing the finger at the devil.That can be a copout,an excuse to not deal with sin past,present or future. You have an advantage in that you are all believers. You are already ahead of many parents in similar situations. Devote time to Philippians and 2 Peter 1:1-12. Both of these portions of scripture devote much time to where our hearts and minds should be,and what it takes to build and nurture our walk with God. A couple of thoughts here. First Jesus tells us that just as God has foregiven us so we should forgive eachother.If we are not willing to forgive then God will not foregive us. Secondly Philippians 3:12-14 do this it works! Seek out godly council,get help. You guy's dont have to play the lone ranger.Have you all sought any pastoral counceing within your fellowship. Pray, seek out God,get advice from standing believers.There is profit in all these things. Philippians 4:13,19! In Christ, lionheart |
