Judges 2:10, 19
After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the Lord not what He had done for Israel. ... They refused to give up [doing their own things] their evil practices and stubborn ways.
It only takes one generation to drop the baton. We who know the Lord must be sure to teach our own children and grandchildren who God is, what He is like, and what He has done and promised to do. We must give them the only hope there is for this world. Even if our own children neglect to practice or believe, then we must teach our grandchildren, and even their children, should we remain here to see them. We cannot allow our own families to sink into the pit of evil and wickedness, hopelessness and misery.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
