Fears

One of the things that frightens me today is that we are allowing our children to live each day being constantly entertained. The result is a generation of surface thinkers who lack empathy for others. They live in an imaginary world where only happy endings or humorous endings are their reality. That becomes their criteria for placing a value on everything. What happens when that becomes their criteria for the serious study of Scripture? What happens when the "endings" in their lives are neither happy or humorous? What happens when they judge others--and respond to others--based on that criteria? I hope my fears are just the paranoia of an old man. I pray my fears are just the paranoia of an old man. A superficial church in thought and action will be a disaster for the church and the people the church has been called to reach for Him.
