Remember the definition of insanity?

For the Colson Center for Christian World View, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

It may not have been said by Albert Einstein, but it's true.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

I think about this every time I read another article about why young people are leaving the church.

So many of these articles are written by progressives or ex-evangelicals

proclaiming that churches must adopt liberal theology, LGBT ideology, and focus on social justice

rather than sin in salvation if they hope to survive. But churches and denominations have already

tried this for years, and the ones who have are overwhelmingly old, white, and dying. The church is losing

members at a dizzying rate still are the ones that have ordained gay clergy and are preaching a social

gospel. On the other hand, their conservative counterparts are growing still. Look, young people don't

need another institution to make them feel good. They need one that will tell them the truth about

sin and the Savior who calls them to be transformed in the world, not conformed to it.
