1 | Child living in open sin. What do we do? | 1 Cor 5:11 | momof5 | 72003 | ||
Does this verse apply to a wayward child? We have raised our children in the church; each child has made a commitment to Christ and have been grounded in the Word through family devotions, sunday school, church youth programs, etc. Our 22yr. old daughter elected to go to a very liberal university and although the first couple of years she stayed 'in church', she has gradually been going the way of the world. We continually warn her of the wrong choices she makes, even to the point of limiting financial support. Having graduated from college, due to financial constraints (and the poor job market), she has continued to waitress (the money is good), but 'had' to take a bartending job to make ends meet. She hasn't been 'in church' the last couple of years, and it's obvious she is running from God (although she insists that she is 'finding her own way' and is still a Christian). She is deceiving her own heart. We feel we must take a stronger stand as she is talking about moving in with her boyfriend (he too is back-slid, a Bible school dropout).Do we explain to her, as this verse says, because we love her,we are separating ourselves from participating in her sin by distancing ourselves from her. We have two younger children still at home, and I am concerned about her influence on them and the importance of following scripture in our response to her open sin. I would appreciate some input on this. Thankyou. |
