What I find interesting about Abraham is he lived at a time when there was no institutional church, there was no institutional religion there for him per se, but clearly he's bringing his family to the Lord. When God told him to sacrifice Isaac, Isaac himself to be sacrificed, and he takes him on this trip to do the sacrifice, Isaac doesn't know what's going on. But Isaac knows what he's doing, because he literally looks at Abraham and says, see the wood, see everything we need for the sacrifice, but where's the sacrifice? This was not new to him. He was someone who had worshiped before, and clearly this is what Abraham was doing.

Isaac was trained in the thoughts of the Lord. And so, I mean, he worshiped God. And that's all we can do as fathers, is bring our children to the Lord. We cannot make them do right. We cannot make them do right.

Rob Tart explains in this video that Abraham lived in a time when there was no church, but he still brought his family to the Lord. We can see this from what Isaac said to Abraham when they were on the way to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. Isaac knew that they were offer a sacrifice. He had done this before with his father.

Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV) - "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."
