As a youth minister, it is hard to consistently find quality sponsors for programs. I will readily admit a lot of it is because I don't work hard at it. I am a push over and accept "no" too easily. But some of it is a matter of apathy. I think people don't want the resposibility. For what ever their reason, it is not "their job" to teach the kids about God. (I am not trying to be super negative here, just recording some thoughts) In preparation for my S.S. material today I came across Judges 2:10, where it explains God died with a generation of believers, or at least the memory of Him did. I see 2 possibilities as to how this could have happened,

• a: the older generation didn't teach the younger
• b: the younger generation didn't want anything to do with the geezers stories.

I suppose it could be a combo of both, but the point is, the baton never got passed. Lord, send workers for the harvest. Do not let our awe of you diminish because we will not take the time to keep the memory fresh.
