WOW. God’s instructions were clear,

Teach the children

Teach the children who God is.

Teach the children what God has done.

Teach the children God’s law.

Teach the children to keep God’s commandments that they would not become a stubborn and rebellious generation.

We failed.

Now we live with a generation that denies God’s very existence and seems to rebel by doing the absolute opposite of everything he commanded us to do.

Psalm 78:1-8

King James Version

78 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

5 For he 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, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

We have raised a stubborn and rebellious generation and are reaping the fruits of our failure to teach God’s Word and be the example they needed to see. Called to be a watchman, we failed to sound the alarm, and the enemy has breached the wall and has taken our children captive.

”If my people, who are called by my name …

Growing up as children of the Greatest Generation

 WOW 

Since I was last on they have restructured Blogspot and I will have to learn it all over again. Hope to resume this week.

Unlike "Who Is James David Huff" this will be random rather than chronological.

Being a child of the forties I was the last of "The Greatest Generation".  We lived, loved and learned about life hands on.  It was the best of times and the best of times.  My best friend, Skip, was a year younger than me and lived three doors up Brown Avenue in Erie, Pennsylvania.  Our mothers brought us together at breakfast when we were still in highchairs, and we became inseparable.  Adventure was out there and we explored the world, sharing the wonders it contained.  

Today my first and best friend still lives in Erie and we get together every summer.
