hello,
i have been working for a family store that is lighting/accessories/gifts type things, there are some lamps for like 30 dollars, and some lamps for 500 dollars, Jesus has made it clear that He is not for people on this earth hoarding material items, i dont feel that it is teh best then or right to aide others in aquiring such material things, since i dont think it is right, and the Bible says that if you are uncertain of something and you do it it is to sin, or that if i think something is wrong and i do it then that is to sin, i dont want to sin, so i dont want to do this anymore, does this sound right to you?
my family was intending to buy the building they are now leasing space in, but it looks like the other person who the store shares space with is going to buy the building, my family is not sure what they are going to do, i think that if they decide to close the store up that i can help them to that end, i think that would be similiar to how Jesus told the one person to sell all his possessions and give to the needy
does that sound right?
im not sure however if i should just stop now since i think its wrong, or if i should give my family time to figure out waht they are going to do, the store wouldnt have been able to run without me, and it would be hard for them to maintain it as they both have full time jobs, however God is my obligation and my priority, i do not want to sin, but not sure if this would fall under honoring/respecting/obeying my parents?
any advice would be helpful, thank you - jason
