I think this is something that really effected me growing up, not the dating specifically, but the fear of letting children sin. Until we sin, its hard for us to grasp the need we have for a Savior. I think LC protected children too much from making mistakes. And used one persons mistakes to try to teach the entire flock the errors of failure rather than the grace of our Savior. My prayer for my young children is that they will make mistakes and lots of them while they're under the umbrella of my husband and I's protection. And that each time we can remind them that their is forgiveness because of the cross. I pray that these little slips while they're young will protect them from the experience of huge sin when they're older....but even then, God's grace is still sufficient! I'm not saying...sin cause there's forgiveness, but the fact is we are NOT PERFECT beings and I think the LC really hoped to make us that! Woudn't need Jesus except as a bud if we were!!
