The current generation of church leaders is losing the conversation with non-Christians. In fact, they’re mostly not even in the conversation anymore. But they continue to absolve themselves of any responsibility for this. Maybe they need to change their approach to the conversation itself, because their current approach to the conversation is making less and less of a difference every day.
Of course the religious leaders of the developed nations are losing the interest of the young. Even the young who were raised in The Church.
In the thousands of years that man existed as serfs, slaves, and indentured servitude, Heaven existed to them as a reprieve from the tortuous lives they led.
Inhabitants of "First World Nations" feel little need for such promises as today, they exist in "Heaven on Earth".
