Honoring Your Parents

Yesterday, I was notrespectful to my parents and it was wrong. The verses in the Bible that tell you to honor your parents mean it. Tie them in with Romans 13 you have a scary thought. In Romans 13 it says to honor the authorities because they have been instituted by God. Next, it says that if you don't honor the authorities God has put above you, including your parents, you are dishonoring God.
This is something our society hates. It teaches that teens are to rebel against their parents because it is "natural". Secondly, it hurts you and your parents. If you are disrespectful towards them then don't let your anger hold the whole day but instead apologize to them. I have had many instances and it has made my parents say things that are not true. And because of my disrespect they said things that made me fill like crap and made me start to hurt myself. Yes, I used to hurt myself. Not because of my parents but because of me.
God uses things you say and do towards your parents to mold you to him. If you are disrespectful he will discipline you because he loves you(Revelation 3:19). So go and honor your parents.
