Sharing Jesus with children when an atheist spouse objects
Listener Sheila is a new believer; her atheist husband does not want her sharing Jesus with their daughter because the daughter will think he's going to hell.
Mike's response: The biblical principle (Acts 5 — "we must obey God rather than men") applies. When the apostles were told to stop speaking in Jesus' name, they kept speaking. Mike says she should not stop telling her child about Jesus. She should have tact about when and how, but she cannot comply with this restriction. At the same time, she should do everything possible to be an excellent wife in every other way — so that her husband sees her as remarkable despite this one area of disagreement. She respects him except in this area because he is wrong and she serves God, not man.
