Generational Differences

Last night Court and I had some really good honest conversation with some friends of ours (hadn't seen them in a while-it was great to catch up). I believe there is something God put in all of us to be authentic and have these refreshing and raw conversations. Now, I realize this statement may resonate with most of the readers here, but it's my parents and older generation who won't read that and think, "Yes, that's what the church is missing." I also realize that is an extremely large generalization (we all know people that age this rings true with). Much of the time I think or talk about generational differences in the church, I am often reminded of my generation's young idealism and border line naivety. However, this may be found to be true, in the back of my head I think, "Maybe we are actually right." Blasphemous I know. Honest, open, raw, authentic conversation is just one of the issues our generations may disagree on-there are countless others. I know, the post-modern thinker would probably say, "Why can't both be right?" I've often thought this myself, but I am reminded by a good friend of mine that our generation has ceased to "Draw lines in the sand." So back to my initial blasphemous thought. What if we are actually right? Then again, what if they are right about other issues? I hate being wrong. How is this reconciled? Some of these issues are causing our generation to leave the church. Unfortunately, this is a direct result of our no commitment, not brand loyal thinking. Think about some other generational issues you have come across. How have these issues played themselves out in your life/way of thinking?
