Concerned Mom

Dear Judy,
My son has been in rebellion for the last several years. Lately, he has begun reading his Bible again and studying with a friend. I am glad this is happening, but I still have concerns. I am trusting that the Word will get IN my son as he studies. I will not stop praying, but am I just kidding myself into thinking all will be well just because he is studying his Bible again? Thanks!

Dear Concerned Mom,
We all have loved ones who need the Lord. You stay very excited to hear that your son is studying the Bible with a friend. For him to do that means he is seeking truth, and when we seek, we shall find. The Bible is the only truth that will rule over rebellion. If he and his friend are studying, then that means they look up the verses and discuss them. Isaiah 55:11 clearly says, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. I suggest that you stand on this scripture and do not let the devil lie to you that your son will always be a rebel.

You need to get excited and continue to pray for him that he will continue to grow in the Word of the Lord and one day give his heart to Jesus Christ. I too was a rebel before I got saved but I started to read the Bible and my mind got renewed. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2). I stopped looking like the rebellious world I lived in, and my mind was transformed into the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I believed the truth when I read how Jesus died on the cross for my sin and rose again and is alive and well. He did that for me, and He did that for your son and for the world! But we must choose to believe!

So keep thanking the Lord for your son’s seeking truth. Psalm 34:10 says, … But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing. We have promises, so trust, believe, and stand firm that truth will replace rebellion in your son.

Wondering

By Dr. Judy Baus • 01 Jan, 2023

Does it matter which Bible version is used? The New International Version is easier to read than the King James Version, but the Amplified Bible gives better descriptions. Thank you!

Dear Judy, I want to first say, Judy, I love the Lord! But I’m having trouble keeping out thoughts of despair as I watch the news every day. The shooting of innocent people coming out of nowhere. How to cope?

Add to not Take away!

By Dr. Judy Baus • 11 Dec, 2019

This is the first month in a New Year and I am sure we all made some declaration for this New Year which wholes new beginnings if we will allow them to be. Instead of giving up I always add something to my walk with the Lord and when I do that it seems to take care of what I should give up or change.
