Mal, I enjoyed reading about your experience. Two bits of wisdom that popped into my head while reading, (in case you're interested) "as a man thinketh, so is he" Proverbs 23:7, and "I teach them correct principles and they govern themselves." When a person is taught truth, it resonates, and they can live accordingly. You were taught truth, perhaps in the wrong way, but you were able to glean truth out of whatever else your minister was teaching. And you governed yourself accordingly. Your children deserve as much, however you choose to teach them. They are certainly taught falsely by the world. It is up to parents to see that their children are taught truth. And, what better place to begin than Bible stories and prayer in the home? The home is the center, the church is the support. Everything taught at church should support what you do in the home. If not, change churches.
