I'm not quite a boy anymore but I'm not in the dirt yet.
After spending some time with a group of 7-9th grade students in Madison I'm convinced of some things:
1) Their potential to change the world is astounding.
2) Their access to wealth, knowledge and vast resources is almost unimaginable.
3) That even in this technological-speed-trap of a culture they need the Spirits guidance.
The intangible, mostly slow-going, always mind-blowing, ultimately sin-breaking wisdom of the Spirit of the Lord will make all the difference in the lives of the next generation.
The Philippians, Paul's first European church plant, were in the same boat. Wealthy, protected, resourced, and sitting on the Via Egnatia - a major highway connecting East/West. Like the Philippians, Paul is challenging this next generation to live according to a holier standard amidst such luxury.
The next generation must discover how to change the world in the Power of Christ instead of simply changing the world.
That would be an Unstoppable Generation.
