The age that we live in now is degenerating. Moral problems exist on every hand. We all do our own things apart from God. My will be done. On the cross Jesus said father, thy will be done. But when Christ invites us we say our will be done. When this happens moral decay sets in. It seems like God has nothing to attract the younger generation.

Our response to Christs is wrong because we have become surface Christian. Outward appearance we look good to the eyes. But poison can also be pretty. You must have a connection to God.

The X Generation only wants to live for God on their own terms. This is impossible. We cant flip flop with God or be luke warm. The X Generation is looking for the glitter the glamour and fame of this world.

Being head strong and pragmatic has it place, but not in the church. How can I love you if you are cold callous and uncaring? There must be a strong and serious infusion of attitudes. So that when Christ invites us we can come as we are. A new way of thinking is needed if we are going to answer God when he calls. We need something other than the way we think to help us. We must be about Gods work. Not slothful or lazy we must serve him with fervent passion. We were called to lead others to Christ. We have often failed in this area. This is because; we have the wrong passion and the wrong spirit. An action corresponds with the thoughts of the mind. To have the mind of Christ is a blessing.

Generation X exists all around the world. If you were born between the early sixties and the early eighties you are of this generation. The cold war had ended, the Soviet Union had crumbled. Prior to this generation you are a baby boomer or as commonly called the old school. In the United States the Generation Xs mind set is one of mistrust, pessimism and unbelief of traditional values. This is why anything goes. Although this generation has the education they often underachieve at most things. There is so much information now at the fingertips that it boggles the mind as to why we have so many overeducated slackers and cynics.

Grunge music and Rap music have given way to folk who pierce and tattoo their bodies for recognition.

The attitude and tendency to express strongly held opinions in a way that suggests they should be accepted without question is no longer a part of religious tolerances. The X Generation believes in God or more so a higher power. Some take smug approach to the religion of their mother and father others believe in God but only with the involvement of human intervention. Generation X is more apt to create religion than to consume it.

Born in Shreveoort Louisiana. Moved to Baton Rouge Louisiana at age 20. Now I live in Humble Texas. I have a B.A. in Philosophy. Currently employed by The Department of the Treasury. Married with Children. I love to write and tell stories. I am a church Deacon. Everyone that I meet is a friend. I see life as an opportunity to learn to explore and of course to write.
