USA Today article sparks concern!

The following article was written in the April 27th USA TODAY newspaper. I found the info to be rather interesting and disturbing...however, it means that we have a job to do! PREACH THE GOOD NEWS!

The following findings are collected from a study of "millenials" (children of the baby-boomers!)

Here is a snippet from the story:

Key findings in the phone survey, conducted in August and released today:

•65% rarely or never pray with others, and 38% almost never pray by themselves either.

•65% rarely or never attend worship services.

•67% don’t read the Bible or sacred texts.

Many are unsure Jesus is the only path to heaven: Half say yes, half no.

Here is the more complete report directly from LifeWay. LifeWay reports:

“Millennials are the most religiously diverse generation in our culture’s history,” Rainer said. “Unsure of the afterlife and the life of Jesus, Millennials present the church with a great opportunity to engage them in conversations dealing with the nature of truth and its authority as God.”
