A survey released towards the end of August by the Public Religion Research Institute revealed that 44 percent of white evangelical Millennials favor same-sex marriage, compared to only 12 percent of evangelical seniors and 19 percent of evangelicals overall.

This is a tough issue in the sense that so many are struggling to have a CORRECT biblical view on homosexuality. Though it's clear from scripture that it's a devastating sin, Millennials (my generation) have bought into the liberal, progressive, secularized implications of ideas like "tolerance" and "to each his own", etc. They've also bought the concept hook, line and sinker that a person's religion is their personal business only, a matter of individual preference. These things coupled with widespread downplaying of the accuracy and authority of the bible have left Millennials with a mismatched roadmap for life and a broken navigational compass.
We need to be exhorted to fully examine the theology or ideologies that currently dictate our lifestyles, not for the sake of making everything relative (like the apparent agenda of Rob Bell), but rather to expose the holes in our theology and the infiltration of secularism - perhaps unbeknownst to us - in order to adhere solely to the comprehensive and absolute truth of scripture.
