What does the Bible teach about making kids go to church with their parents?
After raising our children in church, at the age of 14 & 16 now, they do not want to go! We have always held the idea that we're just all going until you are grown, on your own, and can make that decision for yourself. As parents, are we wrong?
Ephesians 6:1 - 4
ESV - 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 Honor your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise).

Does this include children who have disabilities who are living at home and are in their early twenties?
My children and I had a fire five years ago, and they seem to be still blaming the fire for not wanting to go to church no matter how much i tell them that God didn't have anything to do with the fire.
