 It's when trying to change when we try to change others those God called us to honor And we're gonna deal a little bit with the issue of authority when instead of honoring people We are trying to change them I'm gonna mention three authority in your life that we usually try to change one kids trying to change parents to Wives trying to change husbands or husbands trying to change wives And number three when members of the church trying to change the pastor Pastor should change the members but members shouldn't change the pastor Well, the members should influence the pastor When parents when kids trying to change their parents you must understand as a child in your family Whether you have your own family today, but you have your parents Christ Jesus did not call you to change your parents He called you to honor your parents You may say well, my parents are not worthy of honor. That is not up to you to decide Noah was drunk and one of his sons thought that he is called to change his dad by embarrassing him He did embarrass him, but he brought a curse upon his son's life was Canaan We know that David had sons and David was a good father But David's sons were a little bit crazy one of his sons was eminent He fell in love with tomorrow and instead of coming clean before his dad and says that you know I'm in love with this girl named Tamar. Could you help me kind of give me some advice? You know what he does he lies to his dad and plays sick and says that I am sick But he tells his friends the truth and says hey How can I get in bed with her and his friends gave him the stupidest idea says pretend to be sick to your father Let her father invite her to cook some pancakes as you eat the pancakes seduce her and rape her It shows to us when we take the opinion of our friends Above the honor of our parents We always end up in wrong decisions in the wrong places and then draw death to ourselves closer than it's supposed to come Within a year or two eminent was killed Same thing happened with Absalom and same thing happened with the other son with David We see these sons didn't honor their father They try to always manipulate their father rebel against their father and kids today are so smart and brilliant And they're trying to change their parents when you see your parents drink and they're not following Christ, or maybe you see your parents hypocrites Your duty is not to change your parents Your duty is to honor them After you do your duty trust the Holy Spirit to do his Don't ever be your parents Holy Spirit. You will quickly find out. You're not omnipresent omniscient and omnipotent Sometimes we waste a God. Let me change my parents and you do the honoring Take your place and let God take his can somebody say amen
