Oh, by all means, if the young folks don't like the message, then change the articles of faith to something more palatable. [/s]
When it comes to the younger generation, they do need to change their style an dhow they articulate their message.
Here is a video that may help explain just exactly what i mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKT7OP9lXR4&list=PL4DC49AC0DFE84EA2
Right now, conservative Christians are getting their ass kicked in fighting the culture wars and articulating their views so they can win them. Given the premise that surrender is not an option, he have to figure out exactly why.
Not a bad article...if you know the backstory;
If you dont know the backstory...its atrocious.
I suppose this Russell Moore(theologian) has more to say beyond the article and it leaves alot of standard theological/philosophical trendlines and where we are in relation to a crumbling moral civilization(think Roman Empire) left unsaid. At this point, it is becoming known that politics cannot reverse the moral collapse trend of this society, and with Christianity ever fading more,our leaders mostly bereft of moral fortitude, we are headed in one direction only...down. Politics cannot save us, improving the morality of the populace can, but that is clearly not happening. Christianity is continuining in its downslide through Western Civilization.
As most theologians note, but not most people are aware of , the culture is no longer carrying water for Christian values and beliefs. It has reached a tipping point where even our political leaders don’t have sufficient moral heft and regard. This is a snowball that has been rolling downhill for 50 years at us. We have to re-evangelize the culture, politics will not save us. However, keep voting for good Republican candidates, but it is not the solution anymore. All is decaying, and in decay, like the Roman Empire. This has been the talk of philosophers/theologians for a few decades or more now, and more of the regular folks have been recently catching on.
