Millenials on God

Almost every church I visit and talk with today is beginning to realize that if they're going to survive long into the future they have to become millenial oriented. Adjusting to a millenial viewpoint is not a simple matter of changing worship times, or seating, or adding a new song or two to the music repertoire. Millenials think about the world in fundamentally different ways. In this season of high school graduations here are some characteristics of this year's graduating class:

​

• They have always lived in cyberspace; Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat and such are not add-ons
• Their lives have been measured in the fundamental particles of life: bits, bytes, and bauds
• Bill Clinton is a senior statesman of whose presidency they have little knowledge
• Michael Jackson’s family, not the Kennedys, constitutes “American Royalty”
• The Biblical sources of terms such as “Forbidden Fruit,” “The writing on the wall,” “Good Samaritan,” and “The Promised Land” are unknown to most of them
• Selfies and internet posting is everyday
• Climate change is the condition of the world, not the change of seasons
