Myself as well as my church will lift you up in prayer over this weekend & we will pray for God to give you peace during this rough time. Only God knows the desperate feeling you must be feeling & His Holy Spirit is ours for comfort during these lonely times.

I feel horrible for you when I read between the lines & hear your heart as you are grateful for a pen name. It's another way of saying, "I dare not open my mouth about my personal life or the life of my family!" I've been in those type of shoes & felt that lonely despair.

I'm going to send you some info in a PM about a CoG Bishop who is fully capable to identify with you about this matter.

May God's peace that surpasses all understanding be upon you & your precious wife at this very moment & until this matter is settled.

Your unconditional love for your son will never be forgotten. It is the greatest gift to give him at this time. May God give you and your wife all you need everyday to make it through this.

I think The Lord is sitting there in heaven and saying, " That is my son"! talking about you. I think you handeled it great. Just keep leanning on the Lord and the Holy Spirit will lead you. I will lift you and your family up to our Father. Shalom

Brother, please know there are warriors in the Kingdom of God lifting you and your family before the Throne of God today! This situation is not God's heart for your son. While I have not experienced exactly your situation, I have two sons reared in the House of the Lord. My youngest son has left his wife and child for an older woman, left the state and does not do right by child support or anything else. This is a young man that admitted he has been called to preach, and has had the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It is killing us to see how he treats his wife and baby. This is our only grand child. My wife has been gravely ill for 8 months with cancer and a heart attack. I have had a heart attack also. But we keep holding on to the promises of God! We are in a church as assistant pastor and they are so good to us. They are helping us hold our son and his family before the Lord. Be encouraged, God does deliver from every stain of sin. Please continue to love your son as I know you will. To alienate him would not be in his best interest. Please know you have the people of the Lord in prayer for deliverance.

This thought might be of help to you my dear brother .. I had a Baptist Pastor friend in Shelbyville , Tn. that was asked this question by another Baptist Pastor .

I overheard this conversation . " Hey Brother , I know your son is in college , How is he doing "?
"He's doing fine, TODAY HE IS AN ATHEIST ".

I thought , Now that is a wise father .

Hope this helps . Will be praying , God Bless . T

Praying for You

Acts-celerater Posts: 854 **9/4/12 7:58 am**

Dear one, my heart and prayers are with you. It sounds like your response is very reasonable and compassionate. I've never faced anything like that, but if I did, I'd hope that I could respond as well as you have. The worst thing I've faced was a son who showed up to church with both ears pierced. I told him he was 18 and could make those choices, but he could not live in my house wearing earrings. I told him I loved him and nothing would change that, but if he wanted to wear earrings he'd have do do it at another residence. He took out the earrings. That small episode was a painful experience for me, so I cannot imagine what you must be feeling.

I'd encourage you, if you have not already done so, to contact Lloyd Looney. Dr. Looney is a good friend and he has been a great resource and help to me over the years. Also, I can testify that he will maintain strict confidence in any conversation you have with him.
