Why aren't these kids finding what they're looking for in their parents' religion?

This is the one area mainstream Christianity is failing. Many 'Christians' go to church and if they are really good tithe. Christians who do devotions, participate in small groups, do charitable work, support missionaries, and run their home as a Christian home rather than just a home of nice people is rare.

I disagree with the poster who on this thread slams control as a bad thing. I control my home and when I fail my wife has every right to go before the elders at our Church and discuss it with them because while I am in authority over my home, they are in authority over me, the congregation is in authority over them, and God is in authority over the Church. Christian men are not leading their homes as they should and it might seem appealing to someone from a home like that to find that order elsewhere.
