My wife is the teacher in junior church, she did a series on the ten commandments, I did the summary of how the ten commandments are ties together, break one break them all. My pastor got upset because I did the summary, I struggle with alcoholism and he feels it wasn't appropriate to teach the kids although he admitted I am a very good teacher. My view is this, everyone has a sin they struggle with in thier life, through thought, action or deed. I'm upset with his statement to me, and now he asks if he can use our conversation in his sermon! We have people who are self righteous, self involved, come to church once in a while, etc. But I get singled out because I have a drink now and then, no I am not a drunkard, I work hard, pay my bills and my family is wanting for nothing. I'm trying to not let this bug me, but it is. I didn't satnd in front of the kids and tell them it's ok to drink, and if they had asked me about it I would have told them frankly that I do have a problem and pray.
