Today I posted two seemingly
contradictory articles - both on Millennials
– but how can we explain the difference?
Frankly, I was aware of our anti-marriage
and/or anti-children secular culture, but not of its prominence in the church.
Therefore, I appreciate the author's focus on it and you can read
it here.
Am I surprised? Actually, not overly
so!
For the longest time, in
conversations with others and on my website, I have decried the fact that our
churches have lost their mission - it has often become a very self-focused form
of spiritual navel gazing. In fact, not only I, but many others have observed
that by and large, modern Christianity is now Churchianity - and who is the god
of that entity? You can word search that term here in the Limbraw Library.
The second article literally made my
day.
I am becoming more convinced almost
daily that the Millennials
will be the first serious generation to push back and
accelerate the restoration from DaFreakingMess that we DaSilents and DaBoomers
left them. We lost the culture and inevitably someone will restore it, maybe it
has started – read
and enjoy the news.
So how do we correlate the articles?
If you are familiar with history,
majorities never create trends – they follow. That includes voting against their
own interests, fighting and dying in stupid wars and various other popular
causes.
The bible has a common thread from
beginning to end, OT to NT – the presence of a remnant that has kept and acted
on the will of God throughout history – never the popular majority opinion.
Broad is the way to perdition etc…………! Never underestimate the methods or the
effects of the hand of God!
Anyways, that is my opinion and I am
sticking to it! :)
