Parents raising kids in the modern evangelical traditions appear to be anxious about kids continuing in the faith as the reach adulthood. Barna Group and others report a huge decline of young adults raised in evangelical homes, leaving the church at college age.
This week I want to suggest that the emphasis on individual faith in which we place more importance on what we agree to instead of what God has promised, is the root of the issue. Kids raised to see Christianity as a transaction with terms and conditions are not getting the gospel.
The church over states testimonies, over values the rational capacity, and personal contribution. The scripture tells us a different story, that we and our kids were dead in our trespasses and our God gave us life.
