This generation...

"This generation is sooo much more corrupt then when I was a kid"

"This generation is so lazy"

"This generation is so ignorant"

"This generation just has so much temptation, so it's cool if they mess up...over and over and not learn from their mistakes"

I can't even count how many times I have heard stuff like this said about my generation. Is it just me or does it sound like a bunch of crap pathetic justification excuses? Yes, we do have a lot of temptations and we do have an oh-so-difficult life (my mom won't buy me a new phone because I broke the last 5 I had, geez) but so does everyone else. Despite what the world is today, it is no more acceptable to sin than it was 50 years ago.

We still need to try to do the right thing and not make up excuses like "oh well its just too hard to try to be godly in this fallen world"
