Re-Thinking Our Views

February 7, 2010 in Guest Post,Millenial Generation with 3 Comments

This is a guest post by Sam Mahlstadt.

Have you ever noticed some in the millennial generation are bent on bringing about change to their fields of interest, while maintaining fixed beliefs that actually work against the change they wish to see?

I have a theory: We don’t actually want things to change.

Seriously. Because if things change, we have to learn new systems and alter the way we work.

This effects many different areas in society, but I see it especially in the church.

Young, talented, entrepreneurial Christians with a desire to see the church become a creative expression of Christ’s love for the world, but not committed to change their mindset in order to make their ideas a reality. What’s missing is a belief that we can make a difference from right where we are. Anyone, at any time, can spark change. However, becoming a catalyst for change is difficult, and requires a sacrifice of comfort. Most people will give up on an idea, because even though they want things to change, they don’t really want to give anything up for it.

Trust me, we need your voice. We need your ideas. We need your innovation. If we are going to see the local church become a creative, compassionate and powerful force in our communities, we need you to think differently about yourself. Re-think your views and jump in. We are waiting.

What are you waiting for?

    Good stuff Sam.
    Well said and written.
    Definitely think it is easier to talk about change then be the change.

    Agreed! Thinking is easy, doing is hard.
