Submission to Husband vs. Church

First, I have not read all the posts on this subject.

Here is my opinion:

God First
Family Second
Church Third

I have been challenged on this before, but the church that you describe is made up of people who worship God. It is not God nor Jesus Christ.

I think that the wife should do what her husband wishes. He wants to go to church as a family once a week, and wants his wife to stay home other times.

If the wife feels that she should go more often because of her commitment to God (not a commitment to a church) then she should discuss this with her husband and explain how she feels.

The wife should encourage her husband to go to church with her but not because the church demands it, but because it may be God's Will.

I do not think there is a scripture that tells us how often we are to go to church.

My husband does not get home from work in time to go to Wednesday Night Prayer Service. I stay home to prepare his supper and be with him. I feel that this is what I should do. No one at church has ever said a word to either one of us about not being at the Service. They know that he doesn't get home from work in time to go.

I think it is unfair of a church to put this much pressure on its members which actually may cause problems in families.

 

Laurenda, I'm so glad we argee. I also agree with Thankful. Don't let your church push you on something not biblical.(not that public joint worship isn't biblical, trying to make poeple attend everytime the doors are open isn't).
