It may be asked, “How can it be that a generation arises who does not know the Lord?” The Angel of the Lord would ask, “How can you have turned from me so quickly?” This is a situation close to my home. How can one generation be faithful and the next or thereafter fall away. The father is a Christian but does nothing in the way of educating and directing the children in the ways of the Lord. Later on in life the father lets his children makes decisions that are not biblical (i/e not going to church; not reading and praying regularly; dating non-believers); in fact, the father goes so far as to bring into his daughter’s life (as a candidate for marriage) a man whose spiritual state is unknown to him. One generation to another. This is a tragedy; it is a travesty; it is nigh unto breaking the cov’t.
