Worship Hint for Families
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.”
So says the apostle Paul in his epistle to the Ephesians. The interesting part of this is the statement that “…this is right…” We wrestle with wanting to please God, to be right. We know one cannot be pleasing to God without faith (Hebrews 11:6). But here Paul tells us a thing we can do to be right: ‘...obey your parents in the Lord.”
O mysticism, so secret formula, just obedience in faith. Honor your father and your mother…that it ay be well with you.
