I think the driving force for a lot of us (even for Gen Xers like me) is waking up one day and realizing that all of our youth group friends are now passionate atheists. Actually, if not for a chance progression of events (like working for a church) I might have been one of them. But I also believe that the church is waking up to this fact, even if it is a day late and a dollar short. Maybe if we all seek to understand more than to be understood, we can begin the path toward reconciliation among the generations and the people of faith. Thanks for chiming in, Tyler.

There seems to be something lacking in this generation. Previous generations seem to think that just talking about Jesus during the sermon and "sticking to what the church has always done" will reach lost people of OUR generation. Not at all! I know that if I was trying to be reached now and I heard a 30 minute sermon about Jesus, but didn't see people living it or asking me about it, or simply expanding their horizons to include me in their walks with Jesus, I WOULDN"T FOLLOW. We need to be so vigilant about generations that continuously change and their needs to know Jesus. Why would someone want to follow Jesus if all I do is talk about Him, especially in this "visual age." People are much more inclined to check something out when they SEE US IN ACTION! Why do you think it is so important that we live as Jesus would, with His vision for the world. Good finds on the other posts too brother ER Right on brother!
