Loving God More

In Bible class one thing we learned about Gideon was that he detroyed his father's property. A statement from one of the powerpoints was, Do we really love God more than our parents. There are many verses in the Bible that state that we need to love God more than our parents. It is important because Jesus wants us to only love Him with all our heart and give up everything to follow Him. Including giving up our parents. I like the examples where someone who grows up in a certain religion, but then finds the truth and then the person has to choose between God or parents. Last year in chapel we saw a video about a boy like that and he chose God. it is important to love and respect our parents because that's what God says. We need to be ready if our parents make us do something could hinder our relationship with God.
