"From Generation to Generation"

Introduction

This is a generation in Australia which has seen widespread failing away from Christian faith in God. It would appear to be unusual for children to be following their parents in faith. Yet at the same time we also see a number of young people whose faith is stronger than that of their parents.

As we grow older, we become more aware of the generations, and the relationships between them. We become parents, and grandparents, and great grandparents! So these matters concern us more, and involve us in prayer and action.

We know of 'dynasties' who in generation after generation have given rise to those in Christian faith and ministry, and those who have come into faith only in the last generation.

What is the Biblical 'norm'? How does God deal with the generations'? How are we to believe. pray and act in this context?
