Fifth Commandment

"Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you."  - Deuteronomy 5:16

I have to admit that I do suffer from a secular worldview and sometimes have to work to act from a biblical perspective. It is not always readily apparent what is meant by certain principles. Or where the line is drawn. For instance, what exactly is meant by "honor your father and your mother"? Does that mean do whatever your parents say? Does it mean anything your parents want to do is ok? I think we can agree that that is not the case. Can I honor my father and vehemently disagree with him? Can I honor my mother and draw boundaries in our relationship? Are these questions a sign of being schooled in situational ethics?

Anyway, just a thought...
