S
I wanted to try to make some sense of a current situation in our house and I pray that there is some people that can shed light on the situation.
I am a pastor in my town and I am fully aware of all that goes with that when it comes to the pastors kids. We have a great relationship with our children and we were under the impression that they were happy here. We have four children and our oldest moved out of the house about a year ago and barely keeps in touch with us while blaming us for ruining her life. We just gave her sound biblical teaching and modeled a life that would be glorifying to God, but we know that kids do not always see those things clearly and often are made to make their own mistakes.
Recently we are having an issue with our 17 year old son sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night and it has led to a sexual encounter with his girlfriend. While I am not good with the act of sex outside of marriage there seems to be a bigger issue here. He continues to lie and deceive us in his actions and there is a fine line between grace and completely turning our back to the issue.
We have a very good relationship with him and his girlfriend and they attend our youth group in which we lead. I am really just looking for anyone with a similar situation that might shed some light on the situation.
We continue to pray and welcome those from everyone as well.
