Wife is Back and Forth on Christianity What Should I Do

Question: Wife is Back and Forth on Christianity What Should I Do: Before my wife and I got married she knew I was a Christian and she was not. over time she began to come around to Christ. My wife always saw Christians as hypocrites but is still coming around since she met me. she now goes to church with me prays at every meal with me and gives thanks to god for all the things we receive, but she still is on the whole if you are good in life you will go to heaven if your heart is in the rite place you will go to heaven you don't need to read the bible or know Christ. well now I'm in a situation where a mutual friend of ours is gay and wants to get married with the same sex and wants us to go. I love our friends but I do not support same sex marriage I know its wrong but her girlfriend seems to believe in god and i know I shouldn't be quick to judge because we are all sinners. my wife says she wants to be there to support her and her girlfriend because she is our friend and doesn't want to lose her. I know that Christ said father will turn against a son mother against doter brother against brother, well I know we shouldn't be working to please our friends but to please god. I also want to be a light to my friends and set a good example but if I go to this wedding than I will be a hypocrite and be a terrible example to other people as a christian but if I don't go my wife will see me as a one minded person who is not open to ideas or other peoples FEELINGS. this might begin creating certain feeling in her about me if I don't go and I don't want to start to have mixed up feeling about her if I do what should I do.



Question: Dear Brother, this is the reason why the Bible instructs us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Instead of you having an impact on your wife, she is actually causing you to sway in your faith. How? Because she has you more concerned about what she and her friends will think rather than what your Heavenly Father will think. You are concerned that she is going to see you as being "one-minded?" Well, that is exactly what you are suppose to be when it comes to the things of God. What would be the alternative? To be "double-minded?" Well, this is what the Bible says about being double-minded. "A double minded man is unstable in all of his ways," James 1:8.

To put it simply, you can't please God and man. Either you are going to stand for Christ or you are going to be a "people pleaser." Your wife's walk with the Lord should have no impact on your relationship with the Lord. If you know what the Bible says about homosexuality why would you attend such a wedding? To please your wife and friends? This is not good.

You see, God does not find pleasure in us when we sway back and forth with the wind. When we do not stand firmly on what we believe. This is what the Bible says, "So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth." Rev 3:16. Here is another scripture, "If a person is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, I, the Son of Man, will be ashamed of that person when I return in the glory of my Father with the holy angels." Mark 8:38.

We hope you take a stand for Christ.


With Christ's Love,
