If you\u2019re between the ages of, I think it\u2019s 57 and 74, somewhere in there, if you\u2019re between those ages you\u2019re a part of the most individualistic generation that has ever lived. And you\u2019ve experienced the seat of power, likely as a Christian, in way that Christians historically and even today in other parts of the world don\u2019t experience. The norm for God\u2019s people, the early church and the Roman Empire, the norm for God\u2019s church is to live in exile. -- Jim Davis
