Millennials criticize Baby Boomers for fashion choices and archaic thinking. Baby Boomers criticize any younger generation for selfishness and outlandish behavior. Generations X,Y,and Z criticize attack both Generations for almost everything. All these judgments, however, are based only on social norms and preferences within each generation. The criticisms are superficial and, therefore, meaningless.
God set the standards for real impactful assessments. Romans 14:17-19 says, “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy of the Holy Spirit. Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.” God judges the hearts of men. Righteousness, peace, and joy are acceptable. Boasting, self-righteousness, and tearing down others is not acceptable. Therefore, we must pursue peace with others and do our best to build others up, rather than bringing them down to our own low standards.
