Talking about someone's sin to them
Most of you know my situation I assume, and I have been very concerned about my wife and the perpetuation of her sin. I have been studying and listening to sermons much lately(Charles Stanley in particular) and I am very worried about her standing with God. I feel that her ignoring her conscience, God and His word, she is going to be given over to her sin fully if she hasn't already. This grieves me deeply and I have tried to discuss it with her some before but she is very resistant of course. She is tired of others telling her they are praying for her and she doesn't like talking about it.....mainly because she knows it's sin. If I keep pushing it, our friendly relationship will be filled with anger and resentment I'm afraid. I want to remain friendly because of our children, as that is best for them.
I have thought about going to her father. He knows about our separation, but I am 99% sure that is all he knows. Again though, if I discuss the rest with him, she will be very angry with me. I do think eventually she will come back to the Lord whether she is with me or not. She has always been a strong Christian woman. My question, is that enough? I know through Jesus' blood all is forgiven, but I am still troubled by this.......
