Mention of the Lord becomes more and more strange language to each and every up coming generation. And much to even my own error and upbringing as well.

Being raised in a conservative church with very narrow margins, I was taught more about what other denominations were doing wrong versus how I should extend my hand in grace. That, factored in with an unfruitful Christian upbringing, meant I was destined to follow the pattern. And I did.

A handful to a few are truly loving and serving the Lord faithfully, as goes the world these days. We know him just enough to know his name. We know him just enough to say amen. We know him just enough to call when we hurt.

To my own shame and concern, is that not all of my children have been truly taught the way of the Lord as they should. They know him enough to know his name and what he does and what he can do. Do they love and serve him? Even my extended family. They never raised their kids in church. My grand children were not raised in church. Do I truly love and serve him? Im giving it my 50% effort.

A snowball gets bigger as it rolls down a hill of snow. The name of the Lord is becoming more and more distant to many. Not just my family, but world wide. Emotionally there is a rise in faith seekers even as much of the church is departing from truth. Hopefully this is a sign that a generational error is on a mend. Hopefully for the generations to come.
