I don’t think I will gift the book based on this stand he has taken. I do agree that grace can be given while he finds his footing, but he does his daughter no favors to not adhere to God’s standard. And God loves the daughter far more than even her daddy does.

I finally decided with all he and his kids and everything they have gone thru , and are going thru , maybe he needs a little grace while he catches his breath and gets his feet back under him...but he really wavered on the Word of God, I got the feeling he feels a lot of responsibility for many of her struggles.

This is a huge problem in modern parenting. When adult children choose things that we believe are wrong, we shouldn't abandon Biblical principles. Yes, we still love them but accepting them does not mean accepting their choices. My husband and I have have 2 sons who have rejected the faith. We have a lot of sad experience with this.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17200545342001133657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-13700856803692815992018-06-27T23:05:15.612-04:002018-06-27T23:05:15.612-04:00Yes, I read his post about that.

One of our 3 is an atheist as well...and often we simply cannot agree with some of her choices...but we have more or less put our lives on hold for now...maybe for the rest of our useful lives...because she needs our help so badly. If we ever hope she will come to GOD, we feel we have to be the best servants we can. HOWEVER, I am not writing a blog accepting her choices, nor writing a book...nor in any way condoning her choices. I would have to agree with you. I do feel for this man...he is still in deep grief...he might have felt differently about what he is doing anyway, was he not in deep grief now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
