We all at times unintentionally forget the basics. The simple basics that are so important and foundational should never be forgotten, but at times they are here.

Here is a short and sweet reminder.

• God is perfect without sin.
• We have sinned against Him.
• Jesus gave up His life and shed His blood for us.
• If we believe, God will forgive our sins.
• Being forgiven and pure before God brings new life in Christ.
• All those who have new life in Christ will also live forever with Him in heaven.

I am praying for God to create more and more middle-aged and elderly people who have a deep burning desire to make an impact for Jesus to the up and coming generations.

Who are the 30, 40, 50, and 60 year olds who are faithfully telling the children, teens, and 20 somethings about the glory and faithfulness of God? Where are they?

Check out these verses from Psalm 71:17-18:

“O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.

So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.”

If you are 30 years old or older, please consider this. What are you doing to tell the next generation? How is God using you to tell the younger folks? Someone has to tell them. Lets consider how to be used by God. Get involved.

Go do it! Go proclaim God’s might to another generation! It will be the most thrilling thing you have ever done.
