JUDGES 2
10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which He had done for Israel.
11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim:
12 And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger.
THE LOST GENERATION
Someone once said that Christianity was one generation away from getting totally wiped out. And while Christ promised that not even the gates of hell shall prevail against the church, we must be careful to not become so worldly that we are no longer salt and light to those who are without Jesus.
Throughout their wilderness wanderings, the children of Israel, were told to train the next generation regarding the great works of God. They were told to bind the word of the Lord on their wrists and to keep His word before their eyes.
How was it then that this new generation did not know God? In Joshua 24, when Joshua asked the children of Israel, if they would serve the Lord, they said Oh yes, we will serve the Lord.
What were they doing?, they had forsaken their responsibilities to train their children. Look at verse 10, which says, “…there arose another generation which knew not the Lord…”. The reason they did not know the Lord, is because their parents did not raise them to know the Lord. The result was a generation in bondage to their enemies.
What was the previous generation doing?
More to the point, what are you doing to train the next generation of believers?
Has your church got a Sunday school?
Is it reaching out to the youth in its locality?
As a parent...are you teaching your children and grandchildren the truths of the bible?
As I said at the start, Christianity is one generation away from being lost. Therefore, I urge you to to pass on this glorious faith to your family. One of the jobs of the church is to train and teach the next generation of leaders.
Like Moses did with Joshua
Like Paul did with Timothy and Titus
Like Barnabas did with Mark
Like Jesus did with the twelve
What are you doing to prevent the next generation from being lost?
God bless you
