Obedience to God Above Parents

God does indeed command obedience to parents; but there is a higher law than that, viz., obedience to himself. The lower relation must give way to the higher when the two conflict. God's will that we should obey parents cannot possibly bind us when the parents command what is contrary to God's will. That would be giving the parent more authority than God himself.—Half Hours.
