UNDERSTANDING GOD IN A SIN BROKEN WORLD! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SEEING GOD FOR WHOM HE REALLY IS! [PART THREE] =============================== I said earlier in this study in seeing God for Whom He really is,as we live in a sin infested world,that the MUCH TOUTED GEN Z GENERATION IS A TOOL OF THE DEVIL TO DRAW MANY A PARENTS AWAY FROM THEIR GOD GIVEN DUTIES. (Again,I want to quickly remind us that the so called Gen Z doesn't refer to the teenagers and youth only...WE ALSO HAVE MATURED ADULTS YET WEARING DIAPERS(PAMPERS) AND I MAKE BOLD TO SAY THAT, SHOULD CHRIST JESUS TARRIES, IT'S GOING TO BE MUCH MORE WORSE...THOUGH WE HAVE A HOPE AS BELIEVERS. There's no part of the world where this scourge isn't taking place, though it's more rampart in the United States where the devil seems to locate his coordinating office. Everywhere,youths are on the rampage trying to change the rules... parents becoming children and vice versa ... it's become a very nightmarish experience...even making some parents to question the necessity of having children. It can be scary for parents as well really! Within the reality of this broken world, and with a sober understanding of the dangers found within, how can the few committee youth leaders encourage and equip parents to help their kids process these realities? 👉We Need to Deal with Young People Truthfully! Our impulse often compels us to try and shield young people from the reality of our broken world. Sometimes that impulse can go so far as to lead us to lie or to cushion the truth by offering reassurance that does not comport with the whole truth. Students do not need us to protect them from reality. They need us to help them process it in a Biblically accurate way. While I am certainly not saying that parents and student ministry leaders should inundate young people with the unfiltered and gory details of all that is evil in the world, we do need to be truthful with them. 👉The brokenness of our world is profound. It is painful. It is ugly and frightening. The danger it poses is real. And so is our enemy, who prowls around seeking whom he may devour. We see all throughout the Bible a picture of this reality that doesn’t pull any punches. But along with the painful reality of life under the sun is also found the clear truth of the Good News of the Gospel, which offers insight into how we help young people process this brokenness. All of creation is groaning; and that groaning is difficult to look at and comprehend sometimes. But it is groaning in anticipation of what is sure to come (Romans 8:18-25). The truth of this broken, sin-sick world is that we will face difficulty, strife, and hurt. 👉The good news of the gospel is that Christ Jesus has overcome this world, so we can take heart (John 16:33)! It is often in the darkness and ugliness of the reality of sin and its consequences that the reality of the Gospel shines the brightest. Only by dealing in the truth of this brokenness with young people can we truly offer the remedy in the gospel. This sort of transparency allows us opportunities to point them to a hope that transcends that brokenness. When we show a willingness to deal in truth when it comes to the bad news, they can be truly confident in our truthfulness in presenting to them the good news. We need to be truthful. 👉We Need to Point Them to True Safety! If we are completely truthful with young people we must admit to them that we can have no true certainty concerning the future, as much as we wish we could. This is what presses us in faith into Christ Jesus. We cannot offer our ever inquisitive young ones the assurance that everything in this world will be OK. We cannot promise that they will live a long and tragedy-free life, because the Bible never promises those things. What the Scriptures do affirm is that God is good and sovereign. They reveal to us that our days are numbered (Psalm 39:4) and that God knows the number of our days (Psalm 139:16). The Scriptures remind us that the days are evil (Ephesians 5:16) and exhort us to number our days so that we might gain wisdom (Psalm 90:12). 👉We don’t want to lull young people into a false sense of security by offering them empty assurances concerning the future. We should want to urge them to seek refuge in the only place it can be found. The only way we can do this is by clearly pointing them to Christ Jesus. We should want to consistently remind them that true safety can only be found in Christ Jesus. Period. Our goal in this is not to paralyze them with fear but to mobilize them into HIM! Our desire is that they would know eternal security in HIM, even while living in a world filled with insecurity. 👉None of us can know fully why certain things happen within our broken world. But we can be confident that all situations offer the opportunity for us to fix our eyes on the Lord, lean onto Him by faith, and know HIM more intimately. For believers, we can have confidence that HE is using every situation for our good in conforming us to the image of Christ Jesus (Romans 8:28-29). How can we expect to compel students to press deeply into the Gospel if we continually attempt to shield them from the harsh realities of a broken world? What makes the world even and ever more broken is the brand of technology that presents both significant challenges and opportunities for the so called devil initiated and manipulative Generation-Z, necessitating careful education and ethical guidance to navigate its complexities effectively. WHAT TO DO AS ADULTS NOT WEARING DIAPERS WITH THEM! 👉Addictive Design: Social media platforms are engineered to be addictive, creating a cycle where users constantly seek validation through likes and comments, affecting their behavior and self-perception. 👉Pace of Change: The rapid advancements in technology outstrip legislative efforts to mitigate potential abuses, raising concerns about their impact on democracy and personal freedoms. 👉Manipulated Exposure: Algorithms on platforms like Facebook and Google limit users' exposure to diverse viewpoints and tailor content based on user data, compromising the integrity of information access. 👉 Impact on Youth: The so called Generation-Z is the first to grow up fully immersed in social media, leading to a disconnection from pre-digital childhood experiences and a distorted perception of reality. 👉Need for Education: There is a pressing need for comprehensive digital literacy programs in schools to help students recognize and manage the risks associated with technology and social media. 👉 Encouraging Responsible Use: Educational institutions are implementing strategies to limit phone usage during school hours, aiming to foster a sense of responsible technology use among students. 👉 Teenage Awareness: Many teenagers are becoming critical of social media's influence, with a significant majority expressing indifference towards its existence, indicating a shift in attitudes. 👉Positive Social Skills! Development: Evidence suggests that social media can facilitate important social skills and provide necessary emotional support, demonstrating its potential benefits when used wisely. 👉Ethical Use of Tech: The future impact of technology will largely depend on how Generation-Z chooses to engage with it, emphasizing the role of educators and parents in guiding ethical discernment. 👉Innovative Solutions: New initiatives, like the app Beam aimed at tackling homelessness through crowdfunding, illustrate how technology can be harnessed for social good, highlighting its potential as a positive force. AND ALL THESE CAN'T EVEN BE ACHIEVED UNTIL WE THE ADULTS STOP WEARING DIAPERS,AND TAKING UP OUR RESPONSIBILITIES IN CHRIST JESUS...NOT THE AMERICAN CHURCHES AND WILDFIRE LIKE SPREADING OF ENTERTAINMENT CHRISTIANITY. WHAT THE DEVIL MEANT FOR EVIL, WITH CHRIST JESUS,IT CAN BE MAXIMIZED FOR GOD'S FAVOUR. JUST CONSIDER THE INTERNET... TURNING THE WORLD INTO A GLOBAL VILLAGE...I CAN ASSURE YOU DEVIL IS REGRETTING HOW FAR IT HAS TAKEN THE TRUE GOSPEL OF CHRIST JESUS. Right now,Gen Z have what they call a bible. With confident Christian parents,it will amount to nothing. Criticize me if you like,but it comes with the mandate... Remember; 3. Behold, children are a heritage of the LORD. The fruit of the womb is his reward. 4. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth. 5. Blessed is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate. (Psa 127: 3-5) God blessed them. God said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (Gen 1: 28) Amen,as we pray for strength,grace,mercy and ability to upturn satanic dominance in our God given heritage 🙇🙏!
