"One generation shall PRAISE Your works to another,It didn't say, one generation shall educate each other.
And shall declare Your mighty acts.
On the glorious splendor of Your majesty
And on Your wonderful works, I will meditate.
Men shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts,
And I will tell of Your greatness.
They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness
And will shout joyfully of Your righteousness."
It didn't say, one generation shall regularly attend church and hope it sticks.
It didn't say, one generation shall send them to Christian schools.
It didn't say, one generation shall let the pastors teach our kids about God.
It didn't say, one generation shall lecture.
It didn't say, one generation shall _________...
It said, one generation shall PRAISE your works to another.
As John Piper says, "there is a way to talk about God that negates the very truths about God you're trying to teach/pass on."
So, how are you "praising God" in the presence of those younger than you, mainly your children?. Do you talk about God in such a way that your children know He is the praise and glory of your heart and soul? Does the very thought of Him lead you to spontaneous praise in the good AND bad times?
Are you "praising" his works to the next generation?
