My Parents are Seventh Day
Adventists and I am a Catholic. My
parents want me to worship with
them. What can I do so that I keep
my faith?

Hi Ochieng,
Parents and guardians have the authority
from God to bring up their children in the
ways of the Lord. That’s why they deem it
fit to have their children follow the religion
they know best.
I will advise you sit with your parents talk
with them and have an understanding.
If you have a spiritual leader let him/her
accompany you to do this. All in all religion
is just a vehicle that leads us to Christ, read
your bible and follow the ways of the Lord.
David had been a righteous man, how the Lord had blessed him and how
God had been merciful to him. Solomon told the Lord that he also wanted to
be righteous and rule the nation of Israel in a godly way just as his father did.
Then . . . Solomon made a wish.
He asked the God to give him wisdom. He wanted to be a wise king and
make good decisions. He wanted to be fair and just with the people he was
ruling. And most of all, he wanted to be righteous.
God was very pleased with Solomon’s request. In fact, God gave Solomon
much more than he had even asked. God said to Solomon, “You have asked
for wisdom instead of other things and I will give that to you. Since you
didn’t ask selfishly for; great wealth, a long life, fame or for your enemies to
be destroyed. I will give you all these things and the wisdom which you did
ask of me, if you will honor me and keep my commandments.”
Solomon woke from his sleep. “Wow! What a wonderful dream!” he thought.
Then he arose and went to offer his sacrifice offerings to the Lord.
What he didn’t realize was that it was more than just a dream. God had
truly been with him and spoken to him during the night. God had really
given Solomon his wish for wisdom and all those other things he had been
promised.
God blessed King Solomon with great wealth. He lived a long life. During the
time that Solomon was king over Israel, he had no enemies.
King Solomon became known as the wisest man who ever lived!
