But this is what Peter urges us to do. Instead of acting like we know it all, we need to be respectful. We need to ask God to help us act in a way that pleases him and will make our parents wonder what s up. Second, our actions must match our words. This was very hard for me to do at home.
Parents see it all.
Then start doing these things, and they will ask themselves what has brought about the positive change. The Bible s clear command is to honor our parents. Jesus is a good example here. When Jesus was twelve, he went off to the synagogue to talk theology with the teachers of the law. He didn t talk back.
