Things we should know

The worst danger that confronts the younger generation is examples set by the older generation; examples that is not of God. Exactly what bad examples are the older generation showing to the younger generation, you ask?

The younger generation is learning to be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, and lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.

This is bound to happen because the Bible tells us we can expect that there will be great generational warfare at the end of the age. Within the tribulation and chaos of this time, Satan has a plan to cause tremendous disunity and mistrust between the generations.

This is already happening in the world in a greater measure than we’ve ever seen. Nevertheless, we know Satan will ultimately fail because the Lord has already ordained that a key movement in the end times will be one of restoration among the generations! Isn’t this great to know that there is hope for the younger generation after all? 

Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.  God says, in Malachi 4:5-6 (KJV), “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”

So you see God is with you on this.
