I never said, "We have to go to Church." Therefore, it was never a duty nor was it an option.
I tried to be the best example of what a good Christian should be.
I kept my kids out of government schools, and I never let anyone take over my role as parent.
If my kids ever questioned why we go to Church I would say, "Jesus asked His Apostles to pray with Him for one hour when He was in the garden. The least we can do for Him is to visit Him for one hour a week.
You wouldn’t let your kids ‘opt out’ of school. Why would you let them opt out of church?
Kids aren’t stupid.
