The one who's Dad was dead was a great bible quizzer and could quote frontwards and backwards. He backslid.

The other boy played little league baseball and football. He is a preacher of the gospel today.

Which one's dad was dead and which one's dad did not go to church?

Sorry to surprise you, but we PREACH AGAINST GAMBLING. I don't consider letting kids play organized sports a gamble in any way, if they've been taught right and are strong Christians.

By the way, my kids were also involved in every possible church activity, and they weren't allowed to miss any services for games or practices. That's always been a house rule.

Or even better, the time spent on FORUMs or on the GOLF COURSE had been spent winning souls.

That is one thing you did right...not allowing them to miss services. Bravo!

Organized sports is a healthy way to exercise, fellowship and win souls.

Pastor Poster,

Our nation is both sports crazed and overweight. It ain't just Apsotolic folks.
