There is a lot of thought out there about how today’s “youth” are against institutions. The context of the conversation is often about rebellion against the “instiutionalized church.”

Some would even use this as a support for the house church movement.

I don’t totally disagree with the idea that there is some hesitancy with the “institution” side of the church. But, I don’t think the structure or institutional element is the problem. Why? Well, because look at how many young people support Obama and all that he’s trying to do THROUGH the structure/institution of government. You’d think if the institution were the problem, the government would be “rebelled” against as well. It’s clearly not.

There has to be more to it than just the institution side of things…
