Time Magazine's cover story on 10 Ideas Changing the World Right No recently appeared. Guess what #3. It is new Calvinism.One pastor commented after attending the Gospel Coalition, "When he preaches on tough issues, the older people argue with him. The younger people are prepared to be contradicted by Scripture, and they don’t seem to fight back as much."
Another older pastor commented that he’s not putting much hope in the baby boomers, but he puts a lot of hope in the younger group that loves to be challenged.
These two pastors were into exposition and theology before it was popular. They’re just not used to having so much company.
Even Bill Hybels is advising pastors to stop trying to entertain twenty-somethings. Instead, he says, engage them.
Every generation has its weaknesses, and this is only a small segment of the whole. Still, it is exciting to see a group that is interested in theology and willing to be challenged, not just entertained. Just a fad? Hope not.
