Questioner
Answer
"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another -- and all the more as you see the Day approaching." [Hebrews 10:25]
This is
where you need to obey God and not man--not even your husband. You are not
a slave to your husband but a helper. He cannot make you sin, nor prevent
you from worshipping God. You need to lovingly
let him know that you love Him, but that you love your Christ more than him,
and must be obedient to Christ and His Word. If this upsets your husband
and causes him to even abandon your marriage, then it is in God's hand, for
God tells us:
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife
[husband] and children, his brothers and sisters -- yes, even his own life
-- he cannot be my disciple." [Luke 14:26]
The key to understanding Luke 14:26 is,
"Anyone who loves his father or mother
more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who
loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy
of me;" [Matthew 10:37]
