This Will Give You Peace in Your Life.

And when we come into a relationship with God, if we’re obedient, we come under the blessings. But if we’re disobedient, we are in real danger of coming under the curses. Now, I’ll just give you my little summation of the things on which the curses are pronounced in Deuteronomy 27, verses 15 and following.

Number one, once again, idolatry, false gods. That’s always the top of the list. Number two, disrespect for parents. And this is repeated in the New Testament, Ephesians 6,

“Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise— that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”

My personal conviction is, any person who does not honor his parents never will have it well with them. Never. And I can think of scores of examples of people. That doesn't mean you can't get saved and speak in tongues and go to heaven when you die, but there'll be something missing in the quality of your life until you adjust your relationship with your parents.
