Chapter 1: Joy

When you think about technology being an existential threat, thats a pretty big claim and its easy to then in your mind think “ok so there I am with a phone, scrolling, clicking, using it.. where is the existential threat? Ok, there is a super computer, the other side of the screen, pointing at my brain, it got me to watch one more video. Where is the existential threat? It’s not about the technology being the existential threat. It’s the technology’s ability to bring out the worst in society, and the worst in society being the existential threat.

Chapter 2: Know

Are the Christian millennials going to go down as the silent generation of Christianity? Are we the generation that was too busy texting and tweeting that we forgot how to love our neighbors as ourself? Are we the generation that let a post become the wedge that drove us all apart? I pray we have more up our sleeve.

Chapter 3: Agents

So who is a millennial?. Even there you can’t get a straight answer. Some say it’s birth years 1981-1996, some say 1984-1996, and others say more broadly 1980-2000. Either way, as someone who was born in 1990, I feel adequately qualified to make some observations.

Chapter 4: What is Love

Love spends more time calling us into life as it ought to be, and less time on what we’re not to be. It’s only there that a “no” becomes a sweeter yes and truth becomes a better love.

Chapter 5: Native Culture to Kingdom Culture

I don’t want to build a foundation of diversity (in any definition) to display the Gospel. I want to build a foundation of the Gospel to display the Kingdom. It’s the most minute twist of perspective but in my opinion it’s what has divided Christians the most as of late.

Chapter 6: Common Calling

Aisle to aisle, we have a common ground in sin. And we have a common opportunity to give the world something better. “I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and through the Spirit within me, I’m learning to do exactly what my father has commanded me. Come now; let us leave.”

Chapter 7: Repentance to Glory

You’ve heard this one- Mercy is not getting what you deserve, like being let off the hook for a punishment. Grace is getting what you don’t deserve, like ice cream after school on a Tuesday (to put it lightly). Ephesians 2:8 says “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” Could you imagine if it said “For it is by mercy you have been saved?” That verse alone tells us everything we need to know about what we are being called into.
