Whenever his team loses, no Jeru trip!

  • January 29, 2015 6:28 AM CET

    My husband is a football freak. Whenever his team loses, the whole house is tensed. That night, there would be no Jeru trip and he might not eat my food. Is that normal? What can I do?

    No. That type of behavior is not normal for a matured child of God. Though I find this amusing, I realize that this is not ideal. From your stated conduct of your husband, I judge that he is either not saved (born again) or he is saved but a baby Christian. Whatever your husband's condition, start praying for him daily:
    1)For salvation if he needs it.
    2)For his spiritual growth and maturity (Ephesians 1:17-20).

    Like my brother said above, you both need to see your mentor or pastor who can speak with him. This is obviously not a matured behaviour. From the scriptures, Jeru trip is not meant to be a punishment or reward. It is an obligation that should not be denied.
