I Am Not A Wacko

I am convinced that we are living in the Last Days and that prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes. But when I talk to my husband about it
he says I am a “wacko”. I know I am not a “wacko” and the bible says in the last times there will be scoffers, but what do I do if I am married to one?

First of all, I want to thank you for all the wonderful information you provide to your readers. I check your website everyday and especially when
friends ask me tough Bible questions. I often refer people to your site.

I am convinced that we are living in the Last Days and that prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes. But when I talk to my husband about it
he says I am a “wacko”. He was very instrumental in getting me to understand what I needed to believe to be saved. But now (after 33 years of marriage) I have reached a higher level of spiritual insight, thanks to sites like yours.

So here is my question. I know I am not a “wacko” and the bible says in the last times there will be scoffers, but what do I do if I am married to one? I pray that his eyes will be opened, but it is difficult to live day to day with him and his refusal to see the TRUTH. He spends most of his time reading magazines about money and investments (Forbes, Money Magazine, etc.) when he should be spending at least part of that time reading and learning about his eternal inheritance.

A. It’s frustrating to have a passion for God’s word that’s not matched by your spouse. It means you can’t share the most important things in your life with the one closest to you. Sadly some believers are still so firmly rooted in the things of this world that they ignore the next one, even though it’s far more important. It’s a good thing the Lord didn’t make this a salvation issue.

Like most things, the best course of action for you is to keep praying that the Lord will get your husband’s attention and turn him toward the Word. I know He wants that for your husband, so your prayers will be in His will. I’m sure there are many readers in similar situations who will agree with you in prayer.
