THE TOP 10 WAYS TO TURN OFF YOUR KIDS TO CHURCH I’m grateful we don’t experience this type of thinking in our congregation... but it’s always wise to examine ourselves anyway to make sure these are not true of us: 10. Schedule personal or family events to conflict with church services and activities. 9. Don’t get too close to anyone in church. Refrain from developing relationships with Christians lest your children learn the joy and benefits of fellowship with other believers. 8. Look often at your watch during worship and complain bitterly, look annoyed, or freak out when church lasts longer than you think it should. 7. Tithe and financially support your church and its missions with the same enthusiasm you pay taxes. 6. Do the best you can to make sure the kids arrive on time to soccer lessons and school events, but don’t worry if they miss or are late to church. 5. Bring you family to church only when a.) you have nothing better to do; b.) you have a personal need; c.) you feel really guilty. 4. Don’t volunteer for anything or make any kind of long term commitment at church. Remember, you’ve got to keep your options open to do things that are more important. 3. Change churches every few years. 2. Remind your kids how imperfect your church leaders are and regularly point out their mistakes. 1. And whatever you do, don’t let church influence the way you live your life.
