Re: Kids who live at home but do not go to church
I live at home, and live for GOD and go to church, but my parents don't live for GOD...
oh well, that's ok, [[[maniacal voice]]] when they're old and senile, I'll take them in to live with me, and then I'll MAKE them live for GOD!

No, you won't.That is impossible (free moral agency).

It actually did happen to us. And we abided by what we said. Our house, our rules.
He moved out for a while, but then came back. To our house, our rules.

I agree with you... it has happened to me too... I about lost it when my daughter moved out...she has done some things that really disapointed me... about nearly killed me in fact... but she is now back home... she even thought she might test me again... I just this past week had to clarify my rules for my house. We gotta saying around here... I don't care about the age... if you don't like the rules...hit the road Jack... and the last part is sung...and of course then my 17 year old named Jac says "puleezze stop"
i did have to stick to the "it is my house, my rules" even when my own family didn't stand beside me... I didn't back down. 
My dad showed me the door at 19 years old, I was a 19 year old smart mouth that didn't want to respect my mother...and making me move was the best thing he ever did for me.... I was forced to grow up... I never moved back home either.

Re: Kids who live at home but do not go to church
I would never want to have a child (?) living with me by child I mean 18 or older that did not live for God...I have never had the experience although many times growing up my children were not where they needed to be in the Lord...I found praying does much more than screaming...however I am not the screaming type...
Children need a good set of godly parents and even at that most like a peep or two in the world...

Re: Kids who live at home but do not go to church
I, personally, wouldn't make them go to church if they were adults, but I would expect them to follow my rules or leave.

I agree. Does it have to be said that "making" someone go to church does not mean you are making them "live for God"?

Re: Kids who live at home but do not go to church
I will say this. I have a 16 yr old that does go to church but she tests the boundaries every step of the way. She knows without a doubt - our house our rules.
I wish I had a dollar for everytime she told me she is moving out when she graduates!
I agree with this prinicipal 100%. If I pay the bills - you have a choice to abide by my rules - or get out and pay your own way!
I tend to be the softy in my house but fortunately my husband is tough as nails in this area! So I can lean on him! LOL

Re: Kids who live at home but do not go to church
Until what age do you let your children stay at home?
What about when they get married?
Can your son bring his wife to live with you until they get more financially stable?
What about your daughters husband?
Will they need to live for God?
