Should Young Evangelists Submit to Parents?
Sometimes I get emails with with very good questions. I try to answer them as
biblically as possible.
Dear Pastor Steve,
I am 18 years old and living in the United States. I have found your blog encouraging, and really want to be involved with evangelism. My parents are not Christian. I recently ordered some gospel tracts to distribute. If my parents do not want me to hand these out, should I do it anyways? I ask this because I am at an age where I am not sure if I need to obey everything my parents tell me, especially if it is keeping me from sharing the gospel in this important way. I don’t want to disobey God by dishonoring my parents, but I want to share the gospel by distributing tracts. Do you have any advice? Thank you so much for your ministry.
Sincerely,
William
My answer:
Thanks for writing. That is an important question.
I would suggest that you honor your parents on this one.
