Truth for a New Generation
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton interviewed Christian teacher and apologist, Alex McFarland, to discuss today’s culture and the dire need to present the truth of God to our up-and-coming generations. Dr. Clinton and Alex opened the program and expressed their concern for the young adults and teens of today and how they are in an identity crisis. Alex stated that for them to understand their place in this world and who they are, they must begin to understand the Lord. He used transgenderism as an example of how today’s culture is believing the lie that people can make their own reality and that there is no real right or wrong. Our young adults are stuck in the disconnect between truth and what society, the world, is promising them.
Alex referenced John 10:10, and said, "The thief, that's Satan, and Satan is real, the thief comes to ‘steal, kill, and destroy.’ How sad it would be if the story ended there. It says, ‘But Jesus came to give life and life abundantly.’” He added that teenagers and grad students alike, respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ. When they hear how this relates to each of them as a person, that the Lord loves them, will forgive their sins and has a plan for each of them, it is making a difference.
Alex exclaimed, “I think this generation needs to know that they are not an accident, the good Lord willed that they would be here. Your life, my life and the lives of every young person was an intentional act of God. And we matter. There is an answer for the questions we have, but even more than the intellectual answers, there is the presence of God, every step of the journey.” In closing, Alex stated, “One of the things that's going right with our country and anywhere this is applied, it works; when men commit to love the Lord by loving their spouse and loving their children. I often say this, ‘Look, dads, the greatest thing you'll ever do for your kids is to be true to their mother.’ And so, I just want to throw out this challenge to individuals and churches, maximize on imparting the fire, the truth, love for the Lord, commitment to Christ. We need a generation of godly men and boys that become godly young men. Where my heart is, is to pray for a move of God among America's males of all ages.” Dr. Clinton ended the program and invited Alex back for a second day.
