My husband does not believe in the Lord. It makes it hard for me when I plan to teach my son all about him when he is old enough. I'm scared this will confuse my son.........

It probably will confuse him. I am sure that you have prayed for your husband to know the Lord and invite Him into his heart many times. Please add my prayer to yours. Perhaps by the time that your son is old enough to understand there will be no cause for confusion.

As it is written: “ Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes."

Keep remembering you're asking for help from the same God who brought back Lazarus from the dead. Think how confused Lazarus must have been. Confusion doesn't stop God from doing his thing. Trust him as you do you're Mom thing. God is mighty. Remember that while you teach that.

A good friend of mine got saved after she was married. Her husband is still an unbeliever. But she insisted upon raising her girls as Christians. They go to church, youth group, and at home they read the Bible and pray together. Her daughters understand that their father is not a Christian and they pray for him daily.

You should not let your husband stop you from raising your son to know Jesus. In the end, everyone makes their own decision to follow Christ. But you certainly can raise him to know God, to read the Bible and to fellowship in church and have Christian friends. You will be planting seeds that will last forever!

Be your spouses keeper,
on a spiritual level we drive down roads in our car pretty fast sometimes now God is not going to jump out in the road and say here I am we might not see him and hit the brakes. he waits until we are tired of driving we stop get out of the car and say I've had enough I'm tired. Then He will lead him to a nice cozy parking space beside yours. Be patient loving understanding with your spouses, as long as Your not being condemned for believing if so your better off sleeping on the corner of the roof.

Elvisgirl... Be strong in the Lord & teach your son all the wonderful promises of the Lord. Let your light shine bright in your home. Jesus will help you in these area's of raising your son to become strong in Him. If you have a very dominant controlling husband who is hostile towards you & your son regarding this, then you should seek a support group or counseling, but either way, raise your son to be all that Jesus would have for him...

I add my prayers to all the above. You don't mention how old your son is, but from a very early age, teach him to "talk" to Jesus. Kids love imaginary friends and usually believe they are real (an example is Santa Claus). Before all the information you want to give him, help him develop a prayer life in its very simple form.

God bless you, keep loving your husband, and praising the Lord that He is in this family of yours. Thank Him for His promise to you in Isaiah "All your children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be their peace". Isa. 54:13 At the end of the chapter it says that this promise is the heritage of the righteous - and you are righteous in Christ.
