Making Right the Failures of Our Past

by Asher Witmer  - December 10, 2016

Each generation has to find their place in history. For one, morality may be the trump struggle they face. For another, it may be poverty.

For us, there’s never been a more Christian time in history. And that’s making us ask questions. How do we know what we have been taught all these years is right? What do we do when it feels there are lots of extra-biblical rules and regulations we have to abide by?

With as many faults as our parents may have, we have been given a lot. Are we willing to take what they gave us and add to it?

Throughout the month of December 2016, I’m going to share the ten most-read posts of this year. Number nine is one I published in March and shares perhaps the biggest burden on my heart for my generation. I believe the way we make right the failures of our past is moving beyond pointing out the faults and doing something else instead.

Here’s to A Prayer for My Generation. If you haven’t read it, take a look and leave a comment.

Question: What’s one of your favorite posts from this year? Share in the comments.
