I’m a new believer and come from a family of non-believers. My parents are ok with me attending church services but are strictly against me getting baptised. They feel that if I get baptised, I’ll be unable to “account” to them and the family, especially in events like funerals or death anniversaries, because I am unable to partake in rituals. If I get baptised without telling them and carry out the religious rituals, will I be violating God’s commandment not to bow to idols? On the other hand, how do I honour my parents?
Like the Samaritan woman from John 4, we too may experience troubles in our relationships or encounter people who lead us away from how we hope to live.
Life-giving encouragement centred on God’s word brings hope and reconciliation. MM’s panel of counsellors will answer your relationship questions. Would you come and chat with us?
