by Erik Jones May 20, 2013 • less than one second ago). True Christianity is not a boring, monotonous system of religious rituals, a religion focused on promoting a liberal or conservative political agenda, or a shallow “feel good” message proclaimed by slick preachers on television. When so much of modern religion falls into those categories, it is understandable why so many Millennials have stopped identifying “religion” as being important in their lives. Before you throw the “baby”—religion—“out with the bathwater,” take it upon yourself to examine the true message and way of life outlined in the Bible. You will find a way of life that provides you with the greatest meaning a person could have and a whole guidebook of laws and principles that will lead you to a happy, fulfilling life. You will learn that the top three priorities of Millennials are, in fact, an essential part of God’s way of life and are maximized by truly understanding and applying the guidance and instruction of the Bible. God reveals Himself as a family (Ephesians 3:15) and tells us to place high priority on family—both marriage (Matthew 19:5-6) and parenting (Psalm 127:4-5). God’s way is also built around the principle of giving and serving others (Acts 20:35). So, in fact, Millennials are on to something with their priorities. We urge our readers to reexamine where God and His way of life fall on their personal list of priorities! See “The Purpose of Life”—understanding it can help put all of our priorities in perspective." future="%s" about="" single="y"} read
