I got a note from a mom who’s struggling. She came to Christ two years after she was married. Her husband hasn’t come to faith, and her kids are being raised with two sets of values. Hers, which are based on Scripture and wanting to protect her kids from the world, and his, wanting to teach them about the world and trying everything to not let the church get involved. This is tough. If you’re in this situation, remember: Speak the truth, but remember LOVE. We can’t expect non-believers to act like us. We’re all beggars. We just happened to have found bread, and we need to teach our kids with that kind of excitement. Find ways to honor your spouse too, which is a great testimony. And pray, pray, pray. Jesus did.
Suggested Reading: Luke 22:31-33, Romans 10
I have the same situation now. Please help pray for my husband. I think I’m quitting my work too so I can focus on God and my son.
Alexa, we here at Keys for Kids will be praying for you. We’ll pray for your husband and as you focus on your son. These can be confusing days. Focus on Christ alone. Pray.
