Good article.

Well I need some participation here...lol

My first impression was that the writer was restating the seven churches in the beginning of Revelation (but I haven't gone on to confirm that).

 

[Heart2Soul]

Yes but in the eyes of a millennial as you keep reading he describes christianity.

Looks like Sam Eaton needs to read the "Don't Judge" blog then Luke 18:9-14 and learn not to broadbrush. :)

He stated this after one of his judgmental rants:

"Others see them as pretentious, aloof, and annoying af..."

Now, what does "af" stand for?

I don't know...I am one of the 7 I guess.
Honestly I can admit I am still lacking in walking in perfect love and grace.
His point was to bring it to the churches attention of how much of a turn off we create for them. They don't want what we have.
So the article is satirical.

I read quickly through each one, but one thing I did not find is the definition of the word you used: millennial. What is a millennial?

Kids born since 2000..or even a few years before 2K

 

[XRose]

it is a rubbish article by a person who doesn't understand Christianity.

What is a millennial?

A clueless individual glued to his or her iPhone.

LOL..this response is described in his 7 types of Christians....you are proving him right instead of wrong...just saying.:)

Lol. I am a millennial, or Generation Y. Generation Z is after 2000.

Thank you!
Wow! It seems that further ahead I get, the further behind I get. All of these years and this is a new one to me. I was thinking maybe it had to do with one of the tribulation beliefs that people are often discussing here. Hmmm?
Communication!

Yes, he's showing his "colors" a bit too much there.

I will give him credit for being pretty humorous, though. This one made me laugh:

"The Wierdo:

This religious type appears most frequently when you bring someone to church for the first time. They are hyper-focused on anything that would make an outsider uncomfortable especially speaking in tongues, exorcisms, obsessive talk of Satan and/or making eye contact while standing at concurrent urinals. During worship it is guaranteed they will do something completely bizarre like chant, scream, frolic, and/or harmonize a tri-tone under the melody."

LoL. A little humor and decent writing in Christian circles is a little refreshing... but he does need to stop using obscene abbreviations. Someone may write a piece on him.

I think the article is about what bothers him about fellow believers. :) There are many more categories that could be added in...but aren't.

And a lot of this has to do with how somebody seems to be compared to how they are being perceived. So then a rebellious Christian who is corrected could see the person who is doing the correction as a "know-it-all...or a "holier-than-thou. And it comes from having an unteachable and rebellious attitude which is the MOST prevalent attitude of all in the modern church...yet not listed. Coincidence? I think not! What caused God to reject the people in the wilderness? Does God still count?

Hmmmm....what does that say about the author? ;)

And many of the so-called genuine but flawed believers today that he seems to think he belongs to...are actually just new-agers who seek to appear loving even as they are enemies of the cross.

Christianity is about holiness and truth...and people HATE holiness and truth. So that is reflected in the article. What people care more about is presentation. How something seems to a person on the carnal level.

Good article, but I like this one myself...

59 Percent of Millennials Raised in a Church Have Dropped Out—And They're Trying to Tell Us Why

Once you end teenhood and become an "adult" the ministries end. At the time where teens are finally stepping into the place of leadership as an adult, the focus is gone. All of a sudden millenials are "adulting" expected to be the new generation of leaders in the church, etc. And well many go off to college and things. I am one of the few millenials at my church. Luckily, I fit in well with Generation X, but sometimes I feel like a ministry for just millenials just getting married/parenting for the first time/eager to really minister in church, but really wasn't part of a youth group much in teen years...is overlooked. Suddenly leadership is given to the older or the younger. And the ministry millenials do get involved in...it be nice to have a "wing man" on. Not just set loose. Easy to get burned out.Then there are millenials who just come to seek God, and find they have no one to relate too. Why? Most at this age go to college and never come back.

But yeh Generation Z is far worse off...I just hope as a millennial who will be the next generation of leadership, will be able to teach these kids. (Edit: acary how this is deemed a good thing)
