It was an independent "holiness" now called a "worship center"
with no affiliation. Here's how bad it was: the pastor's own kids had never been taught simple Bible stories.
well - fwiw - our holiness church raises much prayer during the service - so maybe the impression youve got isnt consistent with the whole - my kids attended Catholic School until 9th grade, and have a wonderful rounded view of Christianity
A lot of the "simple Bible stories" are simply not for children.
Did you teach your children about how the Israelites smashed the heads of Amalekite infants on rocks?
How about the story of how good King David committed adultery and then committed murder to cover it up? Did you teach those simple Bible stories to your 4 year olds?
