"Your name and Your renown are the desire of our souls."

Rooted in the confession of Isaiah 26:8, these words capture the heartbeat of a generation desiring to live for the glory of God.

Having exchanged a me-centered lifestyle for a God-glorifying passion, the 268 Generation is motivated by the hope of magnifying the greatness of God with all that they have and are.

Flowing out of Isaiah 26:8 are the five statements of the 268 Declaration. The first reads:

Because I was created by God and for His glory, I will magnify Him as I respond to His great love. My desire is to make knowing and enjoying God the passionate pursuit of my life.

This first declaration fuels the others, calling us to an unrelenting pursuit of the heart of God. It calls us to our created purpose.

Knowing God is a journey for life. Obviously, such a pursuit is far greater than this small guide, but our prayer is that these words and songs will spur you on to greater glimpses of His majesty.

For only those who know God intimately will live passionately for Him in this world.
