I Owe You

“Sometimes I wonder about the 15-year-olds I have seen in emergency rooms with slashed wrists, cocaine overdoses and heroin addiction, and I ask: Did Woodstock contribute to this monster? – Al Jackson, social worker.
Al is not alone. I have often wondered about the legacy of my generation. There is little doubt that we will not be known as “The Greatest Generation”, like our fathers were.
On one hand, we championed noble social causes that many times changed our nation for the better. Yet, under the name of love, we often denied God while glorifying and protecting sinful behavior, causing some to become enemies of Christ. Their blood is on our hands:
2 Corinthians 5:16-20(NIV) 16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
