Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

I have to all that God did among his people.

Really all throughout the first five books of the Old Testament through Abraham,

then through Moses, and then you get to Joshua, and God gives his people the promised land,

the land he had promised to them centuries before, and then Judges chapter 2 verse 10 says,

there arose a generation after them, an entire generation that did not know the Lord,

and didn't know about all the work he had done for his people. How is that possible?

and the knowledge of what he has done to the generation that came after them.

And you see that the number of people who know the Lord and all that he has done in succeeding

generations is declining rapidly. And so Judges chapter 2 verse 10 should be a wake-up call to

We must be faithful to rise up today like right now and pass the gospel on to the next generation

to tell the next generation who God is. How much God loves them and what God has done in history

that they might know God and might know his work on behalf of all who trust in him.

So can we just pray together for that now? In and through our lives,

God repreh that you would help us, every single one of us who is listening to this right now,

to pass the knowledge of you and the knowledge of your works and your grace and your glory on

to the next generation. God, even as I pray that, I know that there are some who are listening to

this right now, some kids who listen to this with their parents, some teenagers who are listening
