Why This Generation Walked Away From The Church 1

So this topic popped up one of my social media accounts about lack thereof Millennials attending the church. Now I know religion is a very sensitive subject for many of you so I will keep that in mind. In the United States and depending where you live in the United States, your environment, circumstances, and living situations will dictate on whether or not you will be an avid attendee or not.

Mostly anything along the Mason-Dixon line is heavily church based community. So Bible study on Wednesdays, Sunday school followed by church service. Another thing to keep in mind is culture. Hispanics and people from the Caribbean tend to be more frequent church attendees (and this is from experience).

And overall, Millennials are the most burnout, in debt, lived through many wars, witnessed the advancement of technology, witnessed 9/11, many government shutdowns, a recession and still living at home out of all of the generations combined aside from World War II when the stock market crashed in 1929 (boomers, generation x, generation z)

Check for part 2 as we get into the nitty gritty….

it's because as God said truthfully in His word, they will deny God salvation and the truth in their unrighteousness aka sinful living ( Romans 1:18) they want to sin and not repent, but God is calling many of them and drawing them near, that is why revivals are going on, God ain't done with us yet ❤️

Walking Away
Something we don’t talk about enough is how hard it is to walk away because someone simply crossed too many of your boundaries. You’ll second guess yourself a million times. You’ll wonder if you overreacted. You’ll wonder if your boundary was stupid or unnecessary. You’ll wonder if perhaps they
