I very much doubt that the future is as dark for evangelical Christians as this article makes it out to be, but it does make a couple good points. Particularly noteworthy:
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 feel about it. Our young people have deep beliefs about the culture war, but do not know why they should obey scripture, the essentials of theology, or the experience of spiritual discipline and community. Coming generations of Christians are going to be monumentally ignorant and unprepared for culture-wide pressures."
Very true. It's a pretty sad world when I, an atheist, know more about Christian theology than professed Christians. Yet I find it's the case much of the time.
