Ephesians 3:14-21
In 1995, Toy Story was the first completely computer-generated film to be released. George Foreman was known more for boxing than for grilling. And Michael Jordan left baseball to come back to basketball. And Generation Z was born. Generation Z may not be a familiar term for you but are those young people born between 1995 and 2010. Gen Z will quickly become the largest American generation yet. They are today's teenagers and children 18 and under. This is the generation right after the famed Millennial generation. According to the US census estimates, there around 68 million of these young people in the United States, a little more than 24% of the total population. They have grown up in a world where nearly everyone has a smartphone and a black president was no big deal. Racial diversity is a reality for this generation as the most popular last name in America is no longer Smith but Rodriguez. They love to use a device to communicate where more than 70% of their communication is akin to texting. In fact, their phone is often their wallet. They have even been called ''screen-agers.'' When you add it all up, they will average spending nearly one day per week on their mobile device.
A Pew study last year found that nearly half of all Americans aged 13 to 17 said they were online ''almost constantly,'' and more than 90 percent used social media. You already know this because you hand them your phone and your computer and ask them to fix it ?! Sadly, they have seen pornography as it has never been more readily available as it is online. When asked, they often describe themselves as being compassionate. For many of these teens, they define right and wrong by the criteria if anyone gets hurt by the behavior. And around 4 of every 10 of Generation Z will attend a religious service of some kind weekly.
