I agree with advice concerning the fact that the man and woman of the house need to be in agreement, even if it an agreement to disagree. However, kids MUST know that their parents have more authority over them then a pastor. They NEED to know that what mom and dad says is vastly more important than what their pastor says, especially concerning things like family traditions and family life in general.
So basically I am in strong disagreement that the parents need to somehow form a united front
with their church in order to point a way for their children. This is coming from someone who was raised more by his pastor, via way of his parents doing whatever he said, then his parents, and is the reason I have still not found a church that I feel comfortable in.
