"Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, 'Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.' But He answered and said to them, 'An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.'" (Matt. 12:38-39)

Just as the generation in our Lord's time was seeking the wrong things, so it is today. The July issue of Focus on the Family Magazine, states that baby boomers expect 6 things in a church: "good music, social groups, big meeting rooms, a quality kitchen, ample parking, and clean restrooms."

Please notice that none of the things the baby boomers seek are things which God Himself requires. Instead of those things which please themselves, they should seek a church with the right name (Acts 11:26; Rom. 16:16), foundation (1 Cor. 3:11; Matt. 16:18), law (1 Cor. 14:37; 2 Tim. 3:16-17), membership (Acts 2:38,47; Gal. 3:26-27), organization (Acts 14:23; Phil. 1:1; Eph. 4:11), worship (Acts 2:42; Eph. 5:19; Acts 20:7) discipline (Matt. 18:17; 1 Cor. 5:4-5; Rev. 2:14-16), and love toward one another (1 Pet. 1:22; Heb. 13:1; John 13:34-35). Truly, we, too, are living in an evil and perverse generation.
