Oh, the action around here!
have you tried a nondenominational church. Im a pk as well, and I know that can kind of sour you to the idea of "church folks". The most important thing is that we teach our children who God is. Your realationship is always the most important thin...
I would just tell her "Look, we've been through this discussion around and around. I respect your beliefs so please respect mine. I will give him the choice when he is ready to make that choice. Please don't force this subject any more."
Then cha...
I'm in the same boat and I tell everyone the same thing. I don't believe in limiting God to a religion, I do what my heart tells me is the right thing to do. And that's usually followed by, please don't even try to change my point of view because ...
I am in the same situation in that I live in Houston where people see church not only as a religion but as a country club plus as primary social media. People don't see you as a "person with good morals" until you announce your religion which they...
I think I have some help for you. I blogged on this topic.
See "Why I Don't Go to Church Anymore" It got 50 comments! So you are not alone.
BTW, I do go to church and I love the fellowship and my children learn a lot. But for years I purposely a...
Hi Monique,
This sounds like a really important issue for you - one that you have thought about for a long time. It sounds like you have some great reasons for doing what you are doing. In our company, Parenting Power, we help parents answer thes...
We got this recently from my MIL, who proclaimed, "We are Protestants" but who does not attend church with any frequency, either. DH just said that we're teaching the kids our values, and they can explore their religious beliefs when they're old e...
Easy, just say we do not go to church. This is a free country. Some people go to church some people do not. I believe in God and do not go to church. I raise my kids to believe in God. I am not going to have someone tell me how I have to believe i...
The word "Chuch" just simply stands for a public place of worship. When Jesus preached, he stood outdoors & simply spoke to his people- there were no walls involved. So not attending church doesn't mean you aren't worshipping God. It's your heart ...
Every church is unique--look around and find one that you like. We all need support and encouragement. The church is a great place to find mentors and friends. No one is perfect and the church is made up of people, not a building, so perfection do...
Trust your instincts. I have known for some time that I get more spiritual connection from a walk in the woods or a yoga class than from any church, temple or place of worship. This has been a source of upset for many years with my mother-in-law h...
Hello. I don't want to turn you off or anything like that but please don't keep your child or yourself from church. You need to ask God which church you need to attend so you will get what YOU need and your son will get what he NEEDS. Being a PK i...
I know how you feel about this situation. I think it's best if you are just up front and honest with her.
My MIL is the typical Mexican widow, she attends Mass daily. Now that my FIL has passes, she goes on retreats and is part of a support group...
Do not talk to your grandmother about going to church. Instead talk to her about the values you are teaching your children. Let her see the God in you and how you are raisinging your children with values and a spirit that is pleasing to God.
Well me being the person i am i would just tell her plain out stop asking. But i'm told sometimes i can be a lil harsh. So like the other lady had suggested you can always have her take him to church. Since you say your not really opposed to the f...
You don't have an easy situation. There's expectations all around! Just remember, Jesus was about relationship not religion. That's what He desires from you.
