Why are churches full of old people stuck in their ways?

This is a dilemma for me. In the mid sixties there were few people attending church in their twenties. But there was a wide range of ages. The services moved on in the sixties with the middle aged Christian’s taking the lead.

So where have these old Christians locked in the past come from? Because they were not there in their youth?

My church is full of young and old people. However, people find God at all stages of life. The older you get, the wiser you get. Young people tend to thinknthey know everything until they realize they dont and cant do things on their own.

@Random3838 it is fortunate that people are “finding God” at older ages. That way less of their life is wasted living a fiction.
