Legacy

Over the next few years the current crop of Seasoned Believers and Seasoned Non-Believers will leave several Trillion Dollars to the following generations. What will they do with all that money? Can our kids and grand kids handle the pressure of wealth? Will they read and understand from Ecclesiastes that it is folly? Or, will it ruin them?

Bob Robinson recently said something striking about this group of Believers. "I want my generation to be 'The Greatest Generation"'. It can be if we leave a legacy of wisdom, love and truth and not just money.

We live in a unique era. Never before has the world seen a time when the ordinary working men and women who sit in the pews and coffee houses of America had more knowledge, spiritual insight and practical experiences than the people in the pulpit.

The Revival we know as the The Jesus Movement drew millions of young men and women to follow Christ, live like Christ and learn from Christ to be like Christ. These ordinary people completed their education and worked in jobs that opened up the world of science, industry, leadership and exploration. That group has reared and launched their kids and is ready to rekindle the fires of the Holy Spirit that inspired them two or three decades ago.

This will be the greatest generation if we can find a way to unleash these Seasoned Believers to leave their unbelievable wealth of compassion, skills and know-how. Think of the school systems, abandoned kids, inner city neighborhoods, burned out ministers and broken homes that need their insights and wisdom. And, this shall we do as God gives us the strength and abilities.
