Euthanasia in the "Church".

  1. "The painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma. The practice is illegal in most countries."  This practice is usually brought up when mentally/physically challenged senior citizen, is the topic of a solution to "get rid of a problem" that won't improve.

    Todays churches and many blogs I read are promoting replacing seniors and their old music and paradigms because "The times they are a changin."  I'm all for the youthful, full of life church, I attend one that doesn't discriminate.  Many church plants and restarts desire to grow, but... at the expense of a group deemed unessential? They should give their building to a younger, maybe even a shallow theological "Church"? The fact that you can draw a crowd doesn't imply you have perfected evangelism and discipleship.  It's easy to say, when you change the definition of  the words.

    Yes, the congregation has retired and moved back to where they were raised as children.  The rest have stayed. Some have merged with other, even younger church plants. One thing you can bet on, they are well aware of the youth of the following generation believing; "We got this." Allow them to worship where they will, doing what they did... build your own church/bldg.

    Get ready for the next generation pushing you aside, that needs a venue to play their cultures music as they roll their eyes as you walk to the seniors section with a walker. Smirking as you voice your preferences, while they pretend as if they are not worshiping in preferences of their own.

    We should never exclude anyone for race/political/economic reasons, nor for age.  "Get out of the way if you can't lend a hand.' is a Dylan idea not Paul the Apostle.
