Does Truth Still Matter?

I was recently reading a blog that commented on a publication put out by a group that wants to emphasize the importance of doctrine.  The critique of this periodical was that it looks like something that comes from the 1970's, and "no one under 40 would take this seriously." 

Am I the only one that finds this idea offensive?  I am under 40 and am far more interested in truth than the flashy presentation of a magazine.  Is this how the younger generation is perceived?  Do those who are leading us really believe that we will respond only to something that looks good whether it contains substance or not? 

Scripture tells us to "buy the truth (Prov. 23:23)."  There are some people who not only believe that, but make every effort to find the truth that God wants to reveal to us.  Far too many times the church has compromised truth in an effort to gain popularity with the "younger" generation.  Here's some advice from someone of this generation.  JUST TEACH THE TRUTH!  Young people are growing weary of listening to politicians pontificate and beat around the bush when they are supposed to simply teach us what God is revealing through His Word.

The culture around us changes with each generation.  I do not dispute that.  But the truth will never change.  It is reliable and relevant to every culture and every generation.  We are spending our time and resources trying to "repackage" something that God has ordained and empowered.  Why?
