Tell Them!

And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old. And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. (Judges 2:8,10)

Sometimes when I read the Word of God, a phrase or verse seems to jump off the page at me. Such was the case this morning with this passage. I could not help but wonder HOW IN THE WORLD there could be a generation that did not know the Lord. Where were the Fathers? Where were the Mothers? Where were the preachers and prophets? Didn't ANYBODY SAY ANYTHING? How could an entire generation be raised by a group of people who knew God, and yet none of them ever learned of Him?

Let us ensure that is not the case. Fathers, as we remember Fathers' Day this weekend, let's determine we will TELL OUR CHILDREN about the Lord. And it's not just Dad's job, Mom. You can TELL YOUR CHILDREN, too. And maybe we should also mention that we need to TELL OUR PARENTS and TELL EVERYBODY WE MEET about the Lord Jesus.

At Randolph Christian Church, we are working on several tools that will help you TELL THEM about Jesus. This Lord's Day, we will be providing free copies of the Gospel of John to anyone who will commit to give it away. We are in the process of printing postcards that will be available, free, for you to use in sharing the good news of Christ, and we always have tracts in the tract rack in the foyer.

Let us not be guilty of knowing Jesus saves, and yet letting a generation arise that has never heard that good news.
