Well I will try to give yu a little advice. You can either listen to it or throw it away. Your choice!
So many christians think it si their job to harrass a person into the faith or force the world into our beliefs. This is so far from what the Bible tells us to do, it is not funny. So many times the word tells us to live it not talk it. Christ told his followers, "i am not here to change rome" which meant he was not here to make Rome change into a Christian nation.
Your husband is yet to come to the truth. He may never, but that is between God and him, not you. You job is to be a Godly wife who loves his her husband and supports him. You are to pray for him without ceasing and God will do the rest. Your example or lack of may be the deciding factor in his salvation. But if you continually drive him away with a better than thou attitude or constant preaching, he may go so far he dies without Christ.
Now I am not saying you do anything like this. But, it is so important that your husband sees Christ in you. The most powerful weapons you have is you life and prayer. These two things could very well be the only chance your husband has. Church is for the saved, it is for our edification and growth. Many unsaved attend church and through their membership find Christ. But any unsaved person will feel uncomfortable in church. Who wants to go to a place that tells you that you are sinning and on the road to hell if you do not repent. None that i know. Your husbands example will come from you, not church. Church will be there when his heart is ready and is being knocked on by God's call. Until then, church will be a place he does not want to go to.
Stay strong, God will either touch his life, or give you the strength to endure and the peace to understand that God has a plan and that the choices your husband makes are his own. |

| Well Rocky I understand your advice. Just please know that I do NOT bager my husband, I use this blog as a means to get it all out for myself and not hassle him. Also we have talked we have pretty good communication within our marriage so we discussed it openly. I agree with you that he will find his way. Im just excited about how I feel and wish he could feel it as well. He informed me of his beliefs which are the same as mine. He also let me know that he doesn't feel comfortable at church because they are all "hypocrits and they all lie and just do stuff" whatever that means I then asked, the last time we went to that new church who did any of that? I asked because I didnt know where this was coming from. I then discovered that my husband has some issues that I really don't know about in his past regarding his families church. I know that is his hurdle to over and I will just pray for him. He is an observant person and the things the people do bother him more than the reason he is going. So its his battle but I will still continue to blog on my feelings about it as therapy for me to just get out how im feeling about my new walk etc. Thanks for comments Rocky it did help. I will try to be even more sensitive to his situation. I know before neither one of us was trying to be an example, and now I truly am trying to be an example for others and especially my daughter. My goal is to strive to be more Christ like. A Saint is just a sinner who fell down. |
