Samantha... Growing Up Christian/ Honoring My Parent(s) & Those In Authority (Session 12... Teen Addition)-Rashea@LLO2 Academy
"Honor your parents in the Lord, for this is right."
"Honor those in authority, because God commands us to."
Yeah... I get it, but... sometimes parents and those in authority go too far with their rule and authority. So, what do I do when adults and those in authority are wrong?
Well, the Bible does command parents not to provoke their children to get angry. From what I've read, it appears that God is just as concerned about the well-being of children as he is parents and adults.
When it comes to those in authority, we are to obey the rules. However, when the rules or requests are unethical, the Bible gives us permission to do what is right when pressed to do what is wrong by those in authority.
God really does love us.ππ€£ Heavens! I am orbiting around the universe of adults right now.π€£π
God isn't just concerned about how I overcome peer pressure but, also, how I navigate through a world full of adults in authority and with authority.
The Bible says, "Be known for making good decisions. Do what's right. God promises to repay those who persecute you for doing what is right, in His own timing."
God doesn't leave tweens, teens or young adults without power. Our superpower is doing the right thing when pressed to do what is wrong, according to the Bible.ππ―
