Judges 2:4 And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept. 5And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.
They had just finished a great revival meeting. They all repented and wept. They made promises and commitments. They told Joshua that they would serve the Lord. They asked God to forgive them. The future looked bright.
But then we read in vers 10:
”… and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.”
The Bible tells us that there arose another generation after Joshua that knew not the Lord. How is that possible? That means they went straight home after the meeting where they all cried and repented and promised to serve God and told nothing to their children. The very law they had promised to be committed to told them to teach the words of the law diligently to their children. They did none of that.
Are you a mother or a Father like that? You are one person in church and another home. You forget about the promises you make on Sundays, and fail to teach your children about the truth? Let us make sure we transfer our faith and commitment to the next generation. Bring the atmosphere from church into your home.
