An Evangelical Failure

We Evangelicals have failed to pass on to our young people an orthodox form of faith that can take root and survive the secular onslaught. Ironically, the billions of dollars we’ve spent on youth ministers, Christian music, publishing, and media has produced a culture of young Christians who know next to nothing about their own faith except how they should feel about it (Michael Spencer, quoted in Grounded in the Gospel, J.I. Packer and Gary Parrett, 51).
