Can I live in a house where I am the only Christian?
I live in a house where my mom and dad have turned to evil things secretly.
My sister does some evil stuff as well.
What am I supposed to do?
Of course you can, Is that not where Your "Father in Heaven" have place you before The Foundations of The World. Before there was a Moon or Star, before there was a River, a tree or a bird. You have become "The Light that sits upon a Hill, in your own household. That does not mean they will honor you, For The word of God has declare that they won't. And Jesus, brothers and sisters, did not like Him, for this also has been declared in the "Psalms". Jesus's mother and Father were sinners too! Just imagine "Jesus Christ our Lord and savior" sinless he was, but "subject" unto His own sinful mother and father. for the Bible also has declared it. It has also been stated in the Bible, when they knew not where he was , and when they found him in the temple, they "verbally scolded him". And after he replied unto them. The Bible said, this:
(Luke 2).
48And when they saw him, they were astonished; and
his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing.
49And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Father's house?
50And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all these'sayings in her heart. [your mother and father and siblings do not understand either]
And if you see them as your enemies, 'You are commanded to Love them" no matter how they may treat you and say all kinds of bad things about you, A true "Child of God" is "happy" in these painful situations, So saith the Bible. WHEN IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO LEAVE, If GOD can move "Lot" by His Angels, He knows how to delivery you, at the rightyful time. "But you have been called to "deny" yourself and been "Purchased, bought" paid for by "The Blood of Jesus" you do not belong unto yourself, but Now you have become a "slave' a "BOND slave" and not a hired servant but a slave.
Called,and chosen, Your master once was Sin but now your "Master" is "Jesus Christ our" Lord" "why called me Lord, Lord and do not the things i say?
The Bible also says this:
"If you love me, keep my commandments" and it says:
New International Version
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those
who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
(Romans 8:28).
The True "Child of GOD" has a suffering lifestyle, punctuated with pain, trials and lace with tears, cover with "mercy, grace, and The Comfort of "The Holy Spirit" " The Advocate".
So maybe it is The will of God that, you should stay at home. Especially if you think, that you have to go to a "church" to be with "GOD and Jesus Christ" to worship them or being alone with "GOD the Father and God The Son, And God The Holy Spirit" right there at home is not Good enough for you! Something is wrong. If this is the case. Your faith is not in "GOD", your fatih is in the church" "Honor your Mother and Father" stay at home, and pick up your Bible and be a example unto them, A bible reader and more than a church go'er.
"And when you pray, do it in secret, not in public, let them pray that they may be seen"
Do not long for "Created things"
GOD'S WORD® Translation
"These people have exchanged God's truth for a lie. So they have become ungodly
and serve what is created rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen!" (Romans 1:25).
"Learn how to Love at Home 1st" learn how to love the unloveable at home 1st. Learn how to live with people at home 1st. despite how they treat you. Learn how to Worship God 1st at home, Learn how to be satisfied with GOD alone. Learn how to sing praises alone, He does not care if you cannot carry a tone, He is no respect of persons. Just because a person sings good carries no brownie points with GOD! The church will laugh at you and might not allow you in their choir, Your heavnly Father and Jesus is not like that! Our God is a jealous God! He shares His Glory with no one or any kind of image!
New American Standard 1977
“I am the LORD, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images."
Take this time out at home and get acquainted with The GOD of "Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" that is recorded in "The Bible" as it is written with a Good reliable "translation of The Original copied text". and finish it "Genesis to Revelation" and do not skip any words and pass by words you do not know the meaning of.
[Gather your siblings you are babysitting , read some exciting short stories you have discoverd by the breath of "The Spirit" which happens to breath the Breath of Life into at that proper time.}.
It never cease to amaze me how people want to do great things for GOD, Like He need us to. But we will not read THE BOOK! To learn of His character and of Him. The Bible is also a "Story about Families" Many, Many, Many, Familes, from "Genesis to Revelation". If you take the time out and go straight throw the Book, then time after time the "Holy Spirit" will bring back your remembrance in collective form. "About these so called "Godly" families" and Godly wives and Children. LOL!
"You do not what your families to be church go'ers you want them to be"Bible Readers"! You want them to eat "the Bread of Life" Be a example: as one that mediates in His law night and day! And not a church go'er of night and day! "There is a difference"
For some christians , going to church is a excuse for not Reading the Book Of God! The Bible is a Book, and not a collection of "pop verses!" Which many think so. They treat the Bible like a "medicine cabinet" in the Bathroom. They open the door and reach for a pill bottle into what "ills" them or a bandaid for a temporay fix. They have become "Biblical Pill Poppers"! Once they pop one pill, they put the top on the bible. And this becomes a "Biblical Habit" that is hard to break, and they know it! But they cannot break the habit! and do not know how. But they can quote this:
" I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strenghtens me"
So in essence, let me say this, do not let a "church" become your "addiction" and Let God the Father and His SON and The Holy Spirit" fulfill that spot and leave no room for anything else that you maybe "Addicted' to "The Word of GOD" that it may dwell in you Richly. and you lone, for no other.
May the Lord continue to bless your walk in the "Spirit of The Living GOD" This is a "Pilgrimage" that we are on. "Let us run this race with patience and let us have patience perform her perfect work"
Thank God, for the family he has put you in. And I hope [faith]. the God of all creation will continue to give us understanding in the Way we should walk in all cases of life that are pleasing in his site. That is a statement and not a prayer. "A Salutation"
