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 51 Through The Bible
Day 51: A Willing Offering to God
The Bible is filled with principles that guide us toward living a life pleasing to God, and one of the foundational truths that stands out is the idea of a willing offering. Throughout Scripture, God emphasizes that our offerings—whether of time, talent, or treasure—should come from a heart eager to give. In Exodus 25:1-2, we find a clear instruction from God:
“And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.” (Exodus 25:1-2)
This verse reveals that God desires us to offer willingly. He does not compel us to give but invites us to participate in His work with joy and gratitude. He does not want reluctant or forced offerings; He wants us to offer from a cheerful and willing heart.
The purpose of the offering is not just to meet the material needs but to further God's work on earth. In Exodus 25:8, we see the ultimate goal of these offerings:
“And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.” (Exodus 25:8)
The offerings were to be used to create a sanctuary—a place where God could meet with His people. When we give, we do so not just for our immediate needs but also to advance the work of God’s kingdom and to allow His presence to dwell where His people gather.
Practical Application: Giving Out of Love and Purpose
How can we apply this principle in our own lives? Giving willingly is not just an action but a reflection of our hearts. We are called to give out of love, with a clear purpose, and with a heart that desires to honor God and bless others. In 2 Corinthians 9:7-12, we are reminded of the attitude we should have when giving:
“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7)
When we give, it should be an intentional act of love. It is not about fulfilling an obligation but about reflecting the love and generosity that God has shown us. God does not want us to give because we feel forced or out of guilt. He wants us to give joyfully, knowing that our offering serves a greater purpose.
As we give willingly, God promises to bless us. He will supply our needs and increase the fruits of our righteousness. Our giving not only meets the needs of others but also brings glory to God, creating a cycle of thanksgiving and praise.
“Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness.” (2 Corinthians 9:10)
God’s economy is built on the principle of sowing and reaping. When we give generously, He multiplies what we give and blesses us abundantly. This is not a promise of material wealth but of spiritual abundance—joy, peace, and satisfaction in knowing we are contributing to the work of God’s kingdom.
A Heart for Others and the Kingdom
The act of giving is not just for our benefit. It’s about ensuring that God’s work is carried out and that the needs of others are met. Our offerings—whether financial, of our time, or our talents—enable God’s ministry to thrive. Through our willingness to give, God’s kingdom expands, and His presence is made known in the lives of others.
“For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God.” (2 Corinthians 9:12)
Let us be intentional in our giving, not just out of obligation but out of a heart that desires to see God glorified and His work fulfilled. As we do so, we will experience the blessing of seeing God's work thrive and lives transformed.
Conclusion
God desires that we give willingly and generously out of love for Him and others. Our offerings—whether of money, time, or talent—are not just for the immediate needs but for the eternal purposes of His kingdom. As we give with a cheerful heart, we can trust that God will multiply our efforts and bless us in ways that glorify Him. May we continue to offer willingly, knowing our generosity will establish God’s sanctuary, presence, and work.
