“It only takes one generation refusing to serve God for the next generation to know nothing about Him.”
Church people say this as a dire warning. Pagans make this statement with hopeful glee. It’s absurd no matter who says it.
Christians…try to keep things in perspective. God doesn’t need us to be his public relations managers. He’s fully capable of introducing Himself to the next generation. The future of Christianity does not depend on our witness.
God has revealed Himself in creation. The next generation will encounter the same miracles of nature that we’ve seen. If we fall completely silent, God will still speak to mankind with a million different voices.
Atheists…LOL! Keep the faith that faith is dying! God is referenced everywhere around the globe throughout eons of history and you believe He can be erased by a single generation. LOL!! You think your stubborn petulance can wipe away the fingerprints of God from the Universe. You think God won’t survive without your worship. LOLOLOLOL!!!
The Almighty will not vanish from human thoughts even if every living person refuses to serve Him. The truth does not cease to exist when it is ignored. It is a mistake to think acknowledging God benefits Him. Service to God is for YOUR sake, not His. Jesus is Lord even without your approval.
To Christians and atheists alike, the church is NOT one generation away from extinction. We don’t have that much power.
(Psalm 50:9) I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens, for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine. If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it. Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats? Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.
