I&#39;m not sure I believe him. He&#39;s at least a world-class tracker&mdash;reading footprints, sniffing the air, seeing what others miss. And when he tells you what you&#39;re going to find over the next ridge, I&#39;ve learned you&#39;d better pay attention!<\/p><p>\n\tLyle is an author (more than 30 of his books are still in print), a former city planner, and perhaps this generation&#39;s best analyst of church sociology.<\/p><p>\n\tHe&#39;s also a neighbor. A few weeks ago, Eric Reed and Drew Zahn and I drove down Naperville Road to pay Lyle a visit. His living room was jammed with boxes and files that he was cleaning out at his wife&#39;s request. (&quot;We&#39;ve been married 20,209 days,&quot; he told us with typical deadpan. &quot;If you keep track of it this way, every day is your wedding anniversary,&quot; which tells you something about the way his mind works.)<\/p><p>\n\tWe asked him what cultural trend will most significantly impact the way churches do ministry in the next few years.<\/p><p>\n\t&quot;The changing definition and configurations of &#39;family,&#39;&quot; Lyle said. He explained that with divorces, cohabitation, single- parent homes, blended families, and grandparents raising infants &hellip; important assumptions have shifted. We acted on the tracker&#39;s advice. This issue of <em class=\"citation\">LEADERSHIP<\/em> is the result.<\/p><p>\n\tLyle also offered two more bits of wisdom.<\/p><p><strong>First<\/strong>, he warned us to watch our language. &quot;Language evolves, and the word family is one I would use with caution,&quot; he said. &quot;It can be unintentionally offensive. Yes, many people place a high value on the family in our society. &#39;Family values&#39; has a positive connotation in some political circles, and many churches list as one of their core values &#39;strengthening the family&#39; or &#39;undergirding family life.&#39; But to folks who don&#39;t have a traditional family structure, which is the growing proportion, it says, &#39;People like you aren&#39;t welcome.&#39;&quot;<\/p><p>\n\tSo what term should replace &quot;family&quot;? Lyle asked if we had noticed that the U.S. Census Bureau had stopped referring to &quot;families.&quot; The more precise term now is &quot;households,&quot; which incidentally is an equally biblical term. While we didn&#39;t completely follow this practice (because strengthening families continues to be a need, especially where they&#39;re falling apart), we took his alert seriously.<\/p><p>\n\tAfter warning us to beware of our language, he told us to be aware of the church&#39;s great opportunity for tomorrow: &quot;Traditionally, life was sequential: school, job, marriage, then parenthood. Today people do those four in different sequences. But this traditional sequence, especially job and marriage preceding parenthood, is still the number one way to avoid poverty.<\/p><p>\n\t&quot;State governments are recognizing this through the rising costs of Medicaid. About two-thirds of people in nursing homes are under Medicaid. But did you realize that one-third of all births are paid for out of Medicaid?&quot;<\/p><p>\n\tAs a result, three states (Arizona, Louisiana, Arkansas) already have laws encouraging &quot;covenant marriage,&quot; about half the states have legislation pending, and Schaller predicts that marriage education will soon have as much state support as driver&#39;s education.<\/p><p>\n\tThis is going to create a great opportunity for churches to prepare couples on &quot;How to build a healthy, happy, and enduring marriage.&quot;<\/p><p>\n\tAs we drove back up Naperville Road, we wondered if we&#39;d been with a prophet. But one thing&#39;s for sure, Lyle&#39;s scouting skills are worth keeping in mind. We pray this issue of LEADERSHIP prepares you for ministry just over the ridge.<\/p><p class=\"is-style-article-bio\">\n\tMarshall Shelley is editor of <em class=\"citation\">Leadership journal.<\/em><\/p><p>\n\tTo reply to this newsletter, write <a href=\"mailto:help@christianitytoday.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Newsletter@LeadershipJournal.net<\/a><\/p><p class=\"is-style-article-copyright\">\n\tCopyright &copy; 2002 by the author or Christianity Today\/<em>Leadership<\/em> Journal.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/le\/help\/permissionsprivacy\/permissions.html#answer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"copyright\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> for reprint information on <em>Leadership<\/em> Journal.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lyle Schaller denies he&#39;s a prophet.
