You de...Jean, I hope you come back to read this.... <BR/>You definitely passed the test!!<BR/>Yes, God rewards those who obey and respect their parents but there is a higher law - the one that Peter followed, "We ought to obey God rather than men!" Acts 5:29 <BR/>If what your parents want you to do is contrary to the Word of God -such as following a cult- then you are not bound to obey them. <BR/>But you can still show them love and respect in other ways, right? <BR/>I'm sure it must have been a difficult decision for you and I will pray for God to strenghten you and use you to glorify Him -- and who knows but that your parents will come to the truth through you!!! <BR/>Thank you for your comment, Jean!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029451742280017744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933957650347452922.post-28530130649847256742007-07-05T15:37:00.000-07:002007-07-05T15:37:00.000-07:00I wonder what if your parents command you to do so...I wonder what if your parents command you to do something you know is wrong like follow a cult? I had to get out of the cult despite my parents staunch commands for me.

See how tough my kid is? You haven't seen nothing yet! My kid is getting stronger by the minute!" And that everytime we think we haven't any more to give, God is pointing us out, saying "Watch that one, what what my strenght will do with his life" I like to think about God bragging on us when things get tough. He's got it it all covered...just wait and see.<BR/>Glad your granddaughters are the bookish sort!Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933957650347452922.post-48721499763338624042007-06-04T09:30:00.000-07:002007-06-04T09:30:00.000-07:00Thanks Julie,I just saw the note on Cherie's mom i...Thanks Julie,<BR/><BR/>I just saw the note on Cherie's mom in law.

God is good even in our trials; we may not think so right away but after, when the trials done, you can see it~ (P.s.
