My mom just told me I need to choose between church and my family [Spirituality & Religion]

@LadyGrace I was later home from church and we were supposed to go somewhere

@antisocialbutterfly Oh, I see. Well honey. People can give you a lot of well-meaning advice, but they don’t have to live there, either. You can compromise....Not your faith or beliefs, but circumstances, since you probably have no means to make crucial life decisions and changes right now. Since you live under their roof and they are paying the bills, you are pretty much under their rules for the house. The Bible says honor your father and mother. There was no if or conditions mentioned. That does not mean Christ is not first in your life. He knows your heart, exactly. He knows full well you love Him. It just means you’re going to use the common sense the Lord gave you, until you can arrange better living conditions, without jeopardizing your welfare. You can still worship God in your own room, and watch church on tv, but in the meantime, talk this over with God. He already knows your circumstances, and wants to help, but talk things over with Him for the best advice. The best advice doesn’t come from man. It comes from God’s Word. Allow Him to speak to your heart through that, and through prayer, lead and guide you by His Spirit. The last thing you want to do, is get ahead of God. Pray about this, then let Him do His work. You’ll need to be patience. He that handles the matter wisely, shall find good out of it. Allow GOD to do His work. Allow Him to open or close doors for you. Allow Him to work on people’s hearts, on your behalf. Do not quarrel or be at odds with anyone. God works good for those who love Him and live according to His Word. Trust and rest in Him....not guessing, but [b]knowing[/b] He will do His work. He will. He [b]wants[/b] to give you the desires of your heart. That’s a promise of His. Don’t worry. Just wait on the Lord. He’ll get it right, where if you try to help Him, you’ll just interfere in His plan for your life. He knows way better than we do, and He’s far more intelligent and wise, so He’ll get it right, don’t worry. He doesn’t need our help. Just our faith in Him. He’s perfectly capable by Himself. Don’t make the mistake of trusting what you see, if it looks bad. People sometimes harden their heart and get meaner or more stubborn, when God is dealing with their heart. We walk by faith, not sight. The devil will tell you, “It’s going all wrong....just look!” Don’t believe his lies. Just keep the faith, and things will work out. God is working on a spiritual level in the background. Never stop believing and praying. That’s your best hope...and outcome. God bless you.
