The Lost Generation

Don Campbell:

Don Campbell:
 
Reference your article The Lost Generation in the March 2010 Gospel Advocate. I enjoyed your article but I have a question.
 
You mention "Today we are confronted with a worldly church ---not in the 19th century sense of a dancing, smoking, card-playing, mixed bathing church but in the sense that the church has turned into just another secular institution with vague spiritual aims."
 
Since before Christ each generation has thought the following generation was going to Hell. Today the church generally accepts behavior considered anathema by earlier generations. Could it be we so decadent we do not realize how evil we are or could it be the next generation is not as secularized as you might think and why? Consider your article as if you had written in during the early 20th century about the direction the church was going at the time. The church as we are today.
 
Just a question.
 
Good article.
 
My grandmother on my mother's side was a Campbell and I was born in 1943. I mention the year in case the year in your email refers to the year in which you were born.

Thanks, John Jenkins
