The loss of prepositional living

Chuck on April 23rd, 2008

As students grow up in churches it seems like the main thing doesn’t seem to be the main thing.

I can’t tell you how many college-age people I talk with that seem to miss the point of Christianity.  Religious routine they have (most are sick of it though), they have a conscience (b/c they have some information), but they seem to be missing the “in/with/by’s” of our faith.

College-age people are hyper relational, but helping them bring that desire and skill into their walk with God is an entirely different jump to make.  Walking in, with and by the Spirit (i.e. prepositional living) is really what the main point is.  Right?

I guess my question is, how do we help them get this?

My conclusion is we must live prepositionally ourselves.  If we’re not they won’t.  Maybe our frustration with those who aren’t making the main point the main point should be more focused on ourselves.
