One thought on “The Big Ten

  1. Hi Chris, I honestly (forgive my kid speak here) want to be “all done” with the discussion surrounding millenials and the church, but your post and the fact that I am now reading “Forgotten God” by Francis Chan leads me to share this quote: “The benchmark of success in church services has become more about attendance than the movement of the Holy Spirit. The ‘entertainment’ model of the church was largely adopted in the 1980s and ’90s, and while it alleviated some of our boredom for a couple of hours a week, it filled our churches with self-focused consumers rather than self-sacrificing servants attuned to the Holy Spirit.” Found this both convicting and compelling, as well as fitting to the discussion.
