Good morning, everyone;
I would like to ask a sensitive question regarding daily Christian Growth for your children, your grown up children, their children and yourself.
This is an area that I come across in the Church and outside of the Church, often. I have met folks in our community who do not attend Church, or any Church and shared their reasons or decision why.
Some parents I met when their children attended pre-school at a Church I served years ago, others dropped their children and teens off to attend midweek service followed by youth group (13-17) and children's group (5-12.) Many times the children attending, this actually ministered to their parents and eventually the parents would attend Church.
Some parents and individuals have shared why they don't attend Church from an experience they had with the Pastor, Church leadership, objectivity with the Church's doctrine or a discouraging personality conflict with another.
For those whose children are grown up adults, do they attend Church with their children?
Hebrews 10:24-25 encourages believers to meet together. Many just do not favor the gathering of fellow believers. What is your view of this passage?
Respectfully, many of you have shared your reasons here at BTF for choosing to worship within your home, by the lake, online Church service, personal worship / minister's message, etc...
I'm asking for an open, respectful and constructive discussion.
Please let me know your thoughts.
God bless everyone.
Bob
