Today I Learnd Truth In Love
Reaching All Generations With The Truth
Reaching Gen Z with the Absolute Truth of God’s Word:
A Call to Share the Eternal Message In a rapidly changing world, where social media trends, technological advancements, and cultural shifts often redefine values, one truth remains unchanging: God’s Word, the Bible. As Christians, we are called to pass on this truth to the next generation, ensuring they experience the transformative power of God’s message.
Psalm 145:4-9 beautifully captures this responsibility: "One generation shall praise thy works to another and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty and wondrous works. And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. They shall abundantly utter the memory of their great goodness and sing of their righteousness. The LORD is gracious and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy."
Understanding Gen Z: A Unique Opportunity Generation Z, born roughly between 1997 and 2012, is marked by curiosity, digital savviness, and a hunger for authenticity. They live in a world of information overload but are keenly aware of the gaps in meaning and purpose left by secular ideologies. This generation yearns for truth that transcends temporary trends, and as Christians, we have the opportunity to present them with the timeless, unshakable truth of God’s Word. Declaring God’s Mighty Acts Psalm 145:4 reminds us that faith is generational: “One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.”
Reaching Gen Z requires us to tell the stories of God’s faithfulness from Scripture and our lives. Sharing personal testimonies, recounting biblical miracles, and highlighting God’s hand in history allows young people to see how His greatness transcends time. Speaking of His Majesty and Compassion In verses 5-8, the psalmist proclaims God’s glorious majesty and His abundant mercy: "I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty and wondrous works... The LORD is gracious and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy." Gen Z’s emphasis on compassion aligns with the character of God described here. Highlighting how God’s Word calls us to love others and show mercy resonates deeply with their values. At the same time, pointing them to the source of this love—God Himself—anchors their passion in eternal truth rather than fleeting ideologies.
Practical Steps for Reaching Gen Z
Leverage Digital Platforms: Gen Z spends much of their time online. Using platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to share Scripture, create engaging content, and tell stories of God’s greatness ensures the message reaches where they are. Encourage Real Conversations: Be willing to listen to their questions and doubts. Gen Z values authenticity, so open and honest discussions about faith are essential. Model a Living Faith: Actions speak louder than words. Let them see the transformative power of God’s Word in your life. Demonstrating grace, compassion, and integrity provides a tangible example of God’s truth in action. Create Community: Gen Z desires connection. Church groups, Bible studies, and service projects tailored to their interests can foster a sense of belonging while grounding them in God’s Word.
Singing of His Righteousness Psalm 145:7 calls us to “sing of [God’s] righteousness.” Worship through music, art, and creativity resonates deeply with this generation. Encouraging them to express their faith in ways that utilize their unique gifts bridges the gap between ancient truth and contemporary culture.
Conclusion: A Gracious God for a Searching Generation Gen Z’s hunger for authenticity and purpose is an open door for the gospel. As we declare God’s mighty acts, speak of His majesty, and model His compassion, we fulfill the call of Psalm 145:4-9. Let us intentionally reach this generation with the absolute truth of God’s Word, knowing that His message is as relevant and transformative today as it has always been. The Lord’s mercy and grace extend to all generations, and we are privileged to carry His truth to the next. May we embrace this mission with passion and faithfulness, trusting in the power of God’s Word to change hearts and lives forever.

Day 37 Through The Bible
Day 37: One More Night with the Frogs
Biblical Principle: Absolute Truth from God’s Word
Even in judgment, God deals with us personally and practically. He is not a distant, detached deity—the so-called "man upstairs." Instead, He uses every moment, including times of judgment, to reveal Himself as the LORD.
Exodus 8:8-10 displays this in Pharaoh’s encounter with God through Moses. The Egyptians were overwhelmed by the plague of frogs, and Pharaoh, desperate for relief, asked Moses to entreat the Lord to take the frogs away. Surprisingly, God gave Pharaoh the power to choose when the plague should end. Pharaoh’s response? “Tomorrow.”
This moment is both tragic and instructive. Pharaoh had the opportunity to end the suffering immediately but chose to endure “one more night with the frogs.” Why? Because man’s sinful nature clings to pride and self-will, even when it means choosing discomfort over submission. The famous sermon "One More Night With the Frogs" highlights this human tendency: our reluctance to admit we’re wrong and acknowledge that God is right.
God’s purpose in this judgment was clear: “That thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.” (Exodus 8:10). Every act of God, even those that seem harsh, points to His desire to be known and glorified.
Practical Application: Living the Principle
This story invites us to ask ourselves a profoundly personal question: What am I doing today that causes me to want the frogs one more day instead of humbling myself before God?
We often cling to our ways, refusing to surrender areas of our lives to the Lord. Whether we hold onto bitterness, pursue selfish ambitions, or refuse to let go of sin, we prolong our suffering by resisting God’s will. Like Pharaoh, we sometimes choose “tomorrow” over the peace and freedom that come with immediate obedience.
Instead, we are called to walk humbly with the Lord and live by faith. As Hebrews 10:30-38 reminds us, God is both just and merciful. While it is a “fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God,” we are also assured of His promises if we endure with patience and faith. The just shall live by faith, trusting God’s timing and purpose.
A Challenge to Reflect On
Take a moment today to consider:
What are the “frogs” you’re holding onto in your life?
How can you humble yourself before God and trust Him today instead of waiting for “tomorrow”?
Living a life of faith means acknowledging God is right and surrendering our plans, fears, and pride to Him. Don’t spend one more night with the frogs. Choose to walk by faith and experience the freedom of trusting in the Lord.
