“How do you balance traditional Christian teaching with a youth culture?"

I suppose by combining the following two passages:

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.

1 Corinthians 9:19 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

The plain fact of the matter is that no matter if you DO THAT ... it’s not going to work. Faith on the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is waning and will continue to wane. And that is what is going to provide the open door for the Anti-Christ to come on the scene.

SO ... continue doing that for the FEWER AND FEWER who will come and don’t be disappointed when you see that.

When the Messiah of a Israel arrives ... he will kill and get rid of all those people who won’t have anything to do with him!

John 6
66 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67 So Jesus said to the Twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, 69 and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”

“Where do millennials Attend Church?”

They don’t - they are at home ‘churching themselves’ every Sunday along with their parents.

For the Greater Glory of God

About 100 millenials received the Sacrament of Confirmation at our parish this Spring. I don’t know how many are really going to be devout as they mature, but I’m guessing about 30. They will do so because they had a chance to discover prayer, in the form of adoration of the Eucharist, and because they feel they are a part of the parish community, I think. I wish they did so because they were knowledgeable about the Bible, but that will be a product of their interest, not the cause. (Unfortunately, the weekly teen Bible study starts after Confirmation, not before.)
