World of our Grandchildren

What will the world of our grandchildren be if the church does not evangelize?

Luke 11:28 – “But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.”

In what way are people “blessed … that hear the word of God and keep it”? Of course, the route to Heaven must pass through these gates, but is Heaven the only blessing, or is there a blessing to be had in our world today?

Look at the declining moral state of our modern society in today’s world. What do we see?

• brutal brawls in the arena of games
• lavish lying and criminal corruption in business and politics
• unabashed undress in movies and television
• mass murder over toys and recreation

These all result from the of rejection of the righteousness which is learned from the word of God.

Some don’t keep the word now because they have chosen to refuse the guidance of God, but most don’t keep the word today because they were never taught it growing up. Now our society and “modern” world is doing even more to ensure that this and future generations of children will hear even less of God’s word, and will be taught to disdain it even more.

If the church doesn’t increase evangelism, it votes to let others mold society. And then what will the world of our grandchildren be?
