The Multigenerational Church Crisis

Get your copy of "The Multigenerational Church Crisis" from author and scholar Bryan Chapell

It may seem hard for younger Christians to believe that people over 50 were raised during an era when 90 percent of Americans identified as Christian. These older believers were once part of a majority group that understood the mission of the church was to take control of our culture to halt its evils. At the same time, Christians under 50 have lived their entire lives perceiving themselves as a minority that needs to make credible their faith to a secular, pluralistic culture.

These distinct experiences and perceptions have a profound impact on the priorities different generations have for church ministry. It’s no wonder that younger and older believers don’t always see eye to eye! But imagine what could be accomplished in the name of Christ if we could better understand each other and turn that understanding into shared purpose and aligned priorities?

Backed by thorough research, this eminently practical and hopeful book from pastor and scholar Bryan Chapell shows you how to open the lines of communication, appreciate the experiences that shaped each generation in your church, and unite in one mission to impact your community and the world.

Here is a sample of one of our devotionals:

We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. (Rom. 8:28)

This astounding promise of God can sometimes become the worst of Christian two-by-four clubs. Those insensitive to others’ pain, can insist it provide an instantaneous end to discouragement or grief:

“You have lost a job? Don’t worry. God will work it for good.”
“You have lost a spouse? Don’t grieve. He is in a better place.”
“You are in a crisis? Don’t fear. God’s got it all under control.”

As true as the statements may be, such blunt bashing with God’s truth does not reflect the care of the apostle’s words. He never says all things “feel” good – or seem fair or right. He says that God will “work” all things together for good. There is a process in God’s plans that should allow us to work through grief, pain, and questions.

Grace does not forbid our tears but gives us time to clear them from our eyes.

We work through such difficulties with the assurance that God will never leave or forsake us, nor allow our circumstances to overwhelm his eternal plans. Such grace does not forbid our tears but gives us time to clear them from our eyes. In that space, we can look forward with faith in God’s hand and look backward to the cross for reassurance of his heart.

Yes, everything in creation is being bent toward your eternal good by a sovereign God. That is a powerful truth – so powerful we should handle it with the care God intends.

Prayer: Jesus, thank you for assurance that pain and grief undo your purposes. Help me understand how to share the truth of your sovereign hand with the tenderness of my Savior’s heart. May this Scripture and prayer strengthen you for the work of this day, remembering that it may not feel good or seem good, but is being used by God for an eternal good of his design. The sovereign hand of our God is never used apart from the tender heart of our Savior.
