Whose responsibility is it to share the Gospel with the next generation? Davey mentioned Sunday that it is the responsibility of all of us - not just those who work with kids or youth.
In Judges 2:10 we see that the Israelites did not teach their children about God and His faithfulness. This led to years and years and years of trouble in the land. I'm sure the Israelites of that day would say they were too busy. After all they had a land to conquer.
That would probably be our same excuse today. We're too busy. Maybe even busy with the kids - running them to soccer or dance or music lessons - but don't carve out time to talk to them about Jesus. And then we wonder why they become rebellious teenagers or wayward adults. And maybe we even say the church didn't do a good enough job.
But ultimately the responsibility is ours - the moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles and cousins. Those to whom God has entrusted the children in the first place.
