I love the mission, the direction, even the simple thought of the church. It's baffling. It's hard work. It's rewarding. And, it's ever making adjustments.
The younger generations are always a challenge it seems. What's weird is that all older generations were likely to have been the younger generation in their day. Do ya think? So, what's with the seeming collision between generations which seems to ever abound when we older ones went through the earlier process ourselves?
I don't know. It seems that we are learners for awhile and then preservers of our meaningful learning experience as if, somehow, God maxed out His imagination on my era. But...not so. God is creative all of the time and creative will always include new.
So exactly what are the younger generations doing to our churches? I believe they are bringing us life and giving us hope. They dare to love us while exerting a new supply of energy to our design which is clearly the process of the God-involvement.
This younger generation of leaders sees things, knows things, and approaches church life in ways that I knew/know nothing about. And who inspired these younger men and women? Well, hopefully, guys and gals like me who dared to believe what hadn't been believed yet. Hopefully, we were imaginers who passed the plate of imagination to the next group of leader/followers.
What are the younger generations doing to our churches? Keeping them alive with hope and adventure in the Spirit. That's what. Go. Forward. In. Your. Faith.
