Where did the problem begin

Brethren, I wish it were more common, I wish it were universal, with all [Christians] to have family prayer. We sometimes hear of children of Christian parents who do not grow up in the fear of God, and we are asked how it is that they turn out so badly. In many, very many cases, I fear there is such a neglect of family worship that it's not probable that the children are at all impressed by any piety supposed to be possessed by thier parents- Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892).

There seems to be great concern among today's theologians about the loss of young believers to other religions or other worldly pursuits. While this apparent loss of generation X,Y & Z is cause for concern it might do us well to consider Spurgeon's comments above. Maybe just maybe the current generations are following the natural paths laid out before them by the parents, grandparents & so on. In this case the great blessing is that they are willing to turn away from what they were not taught and seek that which should have been.
