About/Confession

Ordinary Generation

Ordinary Generation is not a trend, a reaction, or a performance.

It is a confession.

Our Confession

We confess that man was created for purpose, order, and obedience under God, yet has turned toward vanity, excess, and self-display.

We confess that in a culture addicted to spectacle and approval, discipline has been replaced with impulse, and identity with image.

We confess that what is called “ordinary” has been despised, though it is in the ordinary course of faithfulness that character is formed.

Rom. 1:21–25, Gen. 1:26–28, Eccl. 7:29.

What we mean by “Ordinary”

Ordinary is not average.
Ordinary is deliberate.

Christ was not born of ordinary generation, but conceived by the Holy Spirit. Fully God and fully man; set apart to accomplish what fallen man could not.

Because He was not born in sin, He was able to bear sin.
Because He was not bound to Adam, He was able to redeem Adam.
Because He entered the ordinary world without sharing its corruption, He alone could atone for it.

Therefore, ordinary faithfulness is not small.
It is obedience lived in response to redemption.
It is discipline grounded in grace.
It is faithfulness without applause, patterned after Christ Himself.

Why We Exist

Ordinary Generation exists to resist excess, reject vanity, and recover a life shaped by restraint, discipline, and identity under God.

We do not pursue relevance.
We do not chase attention.
We do not design for approval.

We pursue faithfulness.

Rom. 12:1–2, 1 Cor. 10:31

Our Way of Life

We believe identity is not constructed, but received.
We believe discipline is an act of worship.
We believe restraint is strength, not loss.

Gal. 2:20, 1 Tim. 4:7–8.

Our Aim

Our aim is not to be seen, but to be faithful.
Not to impress, but to endure.
Not to perform, but to obey.

Mic. 6:8, Matt. 6:1–6.

Closing Confession

We confess that we are not redeemed by discipline, nor justified by restraint, nor saved by the ordinary life we pursue.

We are redeemed by Christ alone, who was not born of ordinary generation, but entered the world by the will of God, without sin, to bear sin for us.

Because He lived in perfect obedience, we are called to obedience.
Because He walked humbly among men, we choose the quiet way.
Because He gave Himself without spectacle, we reject the pursuit of display.

Therefore, we choose the ordinary life. Not to earn redemption, but to live in response to it.

This is Ordinary Generation.
