There is a Generation

Prov.30:11-14

How do you like it when you get identified by your generation? The four generations that are mentioned in Proverbs 30 are not what I would like to be identified with, how about you. Like it or not, by your birthday, you get plugged into one of these:

The Lost Generation -The Generation of 1914      1890 -1915

The Interbellum Generation                                     1901 -1913

The Silent Generation                                                 1925 -1945

Baby Boomer Generation                                           1946 -1964

Generation X (Baby Bust)                                          1965 -1979

Xennials –                                                                       1975 -1985

[1Pet.2:9] You are a Chosen Generation

Let’s look at the four generations listed in Proverbs and see what the Bible says about where you fit.

[Prov. 30:11] Hateful

A Chosen Generation is Kind

[Eph.2:7] Jesus Christ is our example of Kindness

[Prov.30:12] Sinful

[Mk.8:38] Starts with being ashamed of Jesus Christ and His words

A Chosen Generation is Righteous and Holy

[1Pet.2:9] Holy, out of darkness into his marvelous light

[Eph.1:4] chosen in him to be holy

 

[Prov.30:13] Prideful

A Chosen Generation is Humble

[James 4:6-10] God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble

 

[Prov.30:14] Spiteful

[Ps.10:6-14] You think God will never see it, but He does!

A Chosen Generation is Compassionate
