These nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day (2 Kings 17:41)
Isn't this a horrifying observation? Having double-minded standards they sought to serve both God and idols. At one end they practiced some of God-fearing lifestyle, but simultaneously they served pagan gods. The worst part was this pitiful, destructive and double-minded worship was followed by their children and grandchildren. It started as one person's disobedience but became the sinful tendency of generations. Although this is recorded in the bible as a history the same sad story may be the case with several homes today.
As Parents/grandparents let us not get away with half-hearted service to God, while embracing pleasures of the world! We may leaving behind young generations who have no clear direction in life instead of living as a single-minded sacrifice to God. Let us teach our children to love God with all their heart, soul and mind by living out a Christian life before them.
