Dea r Tee and my Dave, Doug, and Don Dea r Tee n Talk: My mother smacked me the other day because I did not want to do the dishes, but instead go to Church. I am not sure if my mothe r is even saved. Isn't Church more important than d is hes? Dear Bruis Signed, BRUISED Yes, Church is more important than doing dishes, but dishes are important too. Th ere is a principle involved here and I think the answer is found in the verse " Honor thy Father and Mother," which means to respect and obey them. You should do what your parents say. Plan to do dishes before Church time and be. sure we don't blame our lack of assuming responsibility on the Lord and His work. Signed, TEEN TALK There's something th at ha s been bothering me . Late ly my mind " runs away" And I sta rt saying all kinds of th ing s in my mind . Th ings that I would never say out loud. It happens most of the time when I am thinking of the th ings of Christ. I may be perfectly happy one moment, then these though ts start and everything breaks apart. I was baptized just a few months ago, and this is wh e n the trouble started. I pray fo r he lp when this happens, but it keeps up . It is really bad. I am read ing the Bibl e, an d the beauty of it is d estroye d (for me) by my own thoughts . How can I fight this? Signed, A RUN-AWAY MIND Dear This certainly is not new or different. The Bible has hundreds of references to the mind and problems of the mind, but here are three to help you . FIRST: Keep reading - this is great. Someone said, " Th is book (Bible) will keep you from sin or sin will keep you from this book. SECOND: Be conscious of work of Holy Spirit in your mind . He is the one who is combatting the bad or wrong thoughts. Before you were saved, you didn't have His help. THIRD: Make sure Baptism was the testimony of what took place in your heart, otherwise, I hope you were not expecting the wa ter to make you clean on inside - that is done only by the Blood of Christ.
