The Silent Generation (68-88)

What a surprise it was for me to find out this morning, that my generation is the Silent Generation (68-88)! It really was.

Other age-groups are Generation Y (18-33 year-olds), Generation X (34-48 year-olds), and the Baby Boomers (49-67). (The Generation Y are called the Millennial Generation in the United States.)

I read the Bible and in the Bible we read about “this evil generation”. (Deuteronomy 1:35) In Matthew 12:39 the Lord Jesus Christ speaks about a “‘wicked and adulterous generation'”. In Matthew 17:17 the Lord says to the people “‘unbelieving and perverse generation'” and he asks two questions:

1. “‘How long shall I stay with you?'”

2. “‘How long shall I put up with you?'”

In Acts 2:40 we are told: “‘Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.'” And in his letter to the Philippians the apostle Paul is admonishing the Philippians to “do everything without complaining and arguing” and to “shine like stars”. Why? Because they live “in a crooked and depraved generation”.

I don’t know why my generation is called the Silent Generation. (Maybe someone can tell me.)

I certainly do no want to be silent, when it comes to being a witness for the Lord. Please read Acts 1:8 and  Matthew 10:32,33.
