Psalm 78:5-7 (NASB)
5  For He (God) established a testimony in Jacob,
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded Our fathers,
That they should make them known to their children;
6  That the generation to come might know them,
The children who would be born,
That they may arise and declare them to their children,
7  That they may set their hope in God,
And not forget the works of God,
But keep His commandments;
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
God's word must be shared from generation to generation.
That way each generation will know the works of God, place their hope in Him, and keep His commandments.
If it is true (and I think it is) that our nation was built on Christian principles based on the Bible, why do we now have a generation trying to deny the very existence of God and any absolutes He might have. The only conclusion is that someone forgot to tell!
And we in the church can bemoan the fact that we have lost a generation or two, but what we must do is be sure we pass it on, so we will not be part of the problem.
So everyone: tell your children and grandchildren. See that your church is passing on the great messages about God and not just some fairy tales! Someone has said that it just takes one generation for a nation to turn away from God.
That seems to have happened, but the opposite is also true. The present generation must pass it on! Since many adults did not have it passed to them, it is the task of the church to not only pass God's word to the next generation, but also to this generation.
Many people feel that Sunday School is just for kids. We must shout it from the roof top, "Sunday School is for Everyone!!!"
Quite a challenge for the church today, but God's words demands it, and God enables it!!!
