I have been patient with my child who is not attending church. The reason I am concerned is that I believe in the scripture I pointed out to you. I believe pastors, teachers, evangelists, etc are all in our lives for the reasons pointed out in Ephesians.

Why would I not be concerned about someone who shuns some of the key inputs the Bible says are there to develop us a Christians?

Plus it is not like he is having home church or is praying or studying the world like he should. The funny thing is that of all of my kids he is the one I never thought would go through this phase. There was a period of time I felt deep down that he might even enter the ministry.

I believe there is a spirit of rebellion and narcicissm operating in the world today in a great way. Particularly among young people. The spirit of the age is to adapt everything to fit yourself. What makes you comfortable. Truths or processes that are uncomfortable are avoided. I believe that is a dangerous state to be in.

I don't want my kids to have escaped the legalism of my religous upbringing to only go to the other extreme where organized religon is shunned.

Thanks for sharing, CC1. Fair and honest enough.
