We’ve both expressed concerns about the lack of biblical knowledge today among youth, but I can’t help but wonder, Is it for the same reason?

I’m concerned about the lack of biblical knowledge among young people, because I believe an accurate understanding of the character and nature of God is critical for spiritual formation. This is why I often wonder, Can true health in the church take place apart from accurately handling the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15)? This is why much of my concern about new movements in the church revolves around the de-emphasis on the authority of Scripture.

By flattening I mean that youth ministry is leveling out.  I’m not speaking about ways that for-profit and non-profit organizations may be changing, whether they’re old or new.
