“Israel Lost Their Children In Just One Generation

…and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:" It doesn't take long for Satan and the world to move into the home of God's people, if God's people neglect the spiritual training of their children. In the above verse, the Holy Spirit tells us that once the great men of Joshua's day died after giving Israel freedom, another generation arose that didn't know the Lord or appreciate all that God had done for Israel. As a result they forsook the God of their fathers for the gods and sin of the world around them. Sound familiar?  The longer I live the more I am convinced that the future of this country is not found in just religion, but in spiritually training. The word "Baalim,"above, describes the different forms of the many false gods of the Bible. As Christians today we are responsible for our generation, if we neglect our responsibility to spiritually train our children, they too will go the way of Baalim and sin!
